The Castle of Vogogna was built in a higher place than the village, and with its semicircular tower it overlooks the whole village.
This fortress was likely commissioned by Giovanni Visconti, who widened the castle in 1348 by adding other parts to the already existing structure.
Opening times: The Castle hosts on two floors the permanent exhibition "Tempo di lupo. La storia di un ritorno".
In the Castle you could also discover a suggestive corner of the Middle Ages through "Armi, usi e costumi dell'epoca medievale" by ACOI Associazione Culturale Ossola Inferiore.
