The castle dates back to the Middle Ages but was rebuilt in its current Baroque form in the 18th century by the Valperga family.

Construction works, which began in 1772 and were completed in 1774, were entrusted to architect Costanzo Michela of Agliè, a former collaborator of Filippo Juvarra.

The castle stands in a panoramic position on a hill overlooking the village of Barone Canavese.

[1] The central floor features a large circular hall, from which three square-shaped rooms can be accessed.

One of these rooms preserves an intact and beautiful 18th-century fresco with distinctive wax decorations.
