The castle dates back to the 12th century and was built under the auspices of the Lords of Grosio, a branch of the local aristocracy, the Visconti family. Its core function was to control the main transportation routes of the Valtellina Gorge and guard against predators from northern Europe and feudal rivals from the south. In the 13th century, the castle was given to the "San Fastino Monastery" and became a "religious-military complex". After the 15th century, with the unification of Lombardy by the Principality of Milan, the castle gradually lost its military function and was transformed into a noble summer palace and administrative center. During the rule of the Austrian Empire in the 18th century, some buildings were demolished for the construction of roads but the core structure was preserved.
