Before being acquired by the Counts of Appiano and other families, the castle belonged to the community. Until the Napoleonic period the monument was in the possession of the bishopric of Trento. During the first decades of the 19th century when its importance as a defensive fortress had already began to decline, it was passed on to private people. They restored it on several occasions but as their effort of maintaining the castle's medieval elements failed, they turned it into a residence. The central tower, its last medieval element, tumbled down in 1920.
Today, the castle is a private residence that cannot be visited.
