Rocca D'Angera is, together with Isola Madre and Isola Bella, for centuries in the hands of the renowned historic Borromeo family. The castle was purchased by them in 1449, and expanded and embellished through the centuries.

It is famous for the 'Hall of Justice' with the 13th century painting of the Battle of Desio, which serves also a fantastic wedding location.

The castle houses also the Doll Museum (Museo della Bambola), containing the family collection of dolls from the 18th century up to the present.

Opened in 2009, the castle has a 2000 square meters Medieval garden, to show the visitors what the garden was like in the Middle Ages in botanical and historical terms.
