On the old road to Gran San Bernardo, the house-fort belonged to the ancient Archiery family that ruled the town along with the De Gignio family.

This building has been standing since at least 1409 but probably took on its current aspect at the end of the sixteenth century when taken over by the d’Avise lords. Antonio d’Avise had it renovated in 1596.

Some of the artistic windows are worthy of note.
