Castello Pascal de la Ruine in a photo by Carlo Nigra (1856–1942)

The permanent house is a little higher than the settlement in a strategically favorable location. It is built over a stream. According to the historian Jean-Baptiste de Tillier , the notary Jean Pascal de la Ruine had the building erected around 1450, a hypothesis supported by the existence of a wrought-iron castle inside, depicting a stork , which is dated to 1457.
