XIII century
The castle of Introd was built by the noble Pierre Sarriod, Marc’s son, around 1260. His descendants lived there until 1910. The main tour seems older. A document of 1244, about the authorisation a “sublimandi atque merlificandi turrim” (to raise up and to provide the tower with merlons ) is probably related to this tour. Originally the castle showed a eight-sided shape, as proved by the many pictures from the beginning of the century. In 1910, its structure had deep restorations that changed his appearance.
The castle, that is actually a property of the Caracciolo family from Napoli, will soon be opened to the public
