Built between 1509 and 1512, it was one of the first Italian Renaissance castles to be built outside Italy.[1] It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural monument in 1922. It was featured in the 1974 film Stardust, as the retreat of Jim MacLaine (played by David Essex) in the latter parts of the film.
