In fact the first time that the Castle is mentioned, is in a diploma of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa dated 10 June 1162. In this document he recognized the Marquis Henry I Del Vasto all the possessions of his father Boniface, territories from Savona until the border with the town of Alba, also granting him the right to erect castles in defence of his fiefs. It can be said that the Castle certainly existed in 1206, it is in fact mentioned, in the act of refoundation of Millesimo on 9 November 1206 by Henry II, who designated it the mountain capital of Del Carretto\u2019s domain.
