The castle was built in the Middle Ages by the Guastavillani family as a defensive structure, later becoming the property of the Lambertini family in the 15th century. Over the years, the ancient building has undergone numerous transformations and renovations: in 1475 with Egano Lambertini and especially in 1600, the structure was transformed into a noble palace, losing the rigid character of a military fortress. Another important reconstruction took place in 1660, when the castle became the temporary residence of Queen Christina of Sweden. In the original design, the castle was composed of numerous buildings (traces of this arrangement appear in the drawings that an anonymous author made in 1578), which over time were grouped into a single building.
