Nestled in a patch of woodland on the edge of the Lomaso Plain, it is a monumental castle complex with three towers, enclosing an elegant medieval courtyard.
It may have originally been a community refuge, given its sheltered location but close to the transit routes between the Giudicarie Esteriori and Interiori. Certainly, since 1163 it was the residence of Campo, a powerful family with vassals and tributaries in many parishes and owner of the Castles of Toblino and Merlino, now disappeared. In 1423, during the war between the Milanese and the Venetians, Francesco di Campo allied himself with the Visconti and this led to difficult times for the beautiful manor, until its almost complete destruction in 1439.
Purchased in 1468 by the Trapp family, it underwent extensive works of enlargement and embellishment. At the end of the 19th century a new octagonal tower was added to the building.
In 1920 it was bought by the Rasini family of Milan. Architecturally the castle is splendid, thanks to the intersections between medieval and romantic style, with hints of neo-gothic style especially in the halls. The inner courtyard is charming, with three orders of loggias, opened in different periods; the five wide arches of the arcade are supported by red stone columns, remains of the previous one dating back to the fourteenth century.
