S. Giorgio Castle

[3] The castle was besieged and conquered in 1117 by Como and the fate of Landolfo, is uncertain (possibly deported or murdered).

In 1667 Giovanni Maria Castoreo di Lugano sold the castle with its surrounding land to the Beroldingen family.

The two lines of the Beroldingen family passed from father to son the office of Landscriba (Chancellor) of the bailiwick of Lugano and Mendrisio.

Beroldingen di Magliaso family, also received, in fief, the territory of the Vicinanza with all the rights to hunting, fishing, and low justice.

In 1788 the Baron Giuseppe Antonio Beroldingen (fourth lord of Magliaso) gave the castle to Jost Müller of Altdorf, who kept it until 1798.
