The castle was built in the thirteenth century and lived in by the Visconti family from 1251. Part of the west facade was altered during the 17^th century, as were the interiors, which were renovated in the Baroque style with exquisitely frescoed and lavishly furnished rooms featuring 17^th century frescoes attributed to the school of Procaccini.

A number of collections are on display in different rooms in the castle: there is a large, rather strange collection of shaving plates in the “Seasons Room”, a beautiful collection of 360 stuffed birds; a large collection of 16^th century Spanish weapons and armour; and an interesting collection of finds depicting early civilisation in Golasecca.
