Situated in a position dominating the village, on the side of the Machaby valley, the castle is at present in ruins.
It was probably built by the noble De Arnado family in the 13th century.
In the 14th century it was the residence of the Valleise family, who invited Amadeus VI of Savoy to lunch in 1351.
