Susans Castle, a private castle and venue for ceremonies and banquets, was probably the site of a Roman castrum, later a strategic medieval fortress. Susans Castle was first mentioned in 1031 as "Suzan's villa". Already subject to the Church of Aquileia, the fiefdom was assigned to Tommaso di San Daniele in 1275. In 1304, the manor was enlarged and strengthened by the new owners Federico and Asquino di Varmo who worked to "raise the castle in a larger and more beautiful form". Involved in numerous wars, the fortress passed from the Varmo Pers to the lords of Colloredo Mels. Destroyed and rebuilt several times, the manor was built more or less in its current form, on a different site from the one previously occupied by the medieval fortress, in the second half of the seventeenth century, by Count Fabrizio di Colloredo Mels, Marquis of Santa Sofia, Prior of the Order of Santo Stefano in Lunigiana and major steward of the court of Tuscany, who wanted the castle as an elegant residence not detached from the context of the architectural tradition of the court. Medici Grand Ducal where Colloredo grew up and worked.

The small church of San Mauro stands on the river terrace of the Corno river and is surrounded by a pebble wall that encloses the old cemetery. The current building, from the sixteenth century, is the result of renovations and expansions of a previous church dating back to the 12th-13th centuries, as evidenced by the frescoes found inside. The building was destroyed by the Turks at the end of the 15th century and rebuilt shortly thereafter. Already a branch of the Pieve di Rive, the church has a rectangular hall with an exposed truss roof and a presbytery with a ribbed cross vault. The atrium, with two lowered arch entrances, and the sacristy are from a later period. Inside, on the right wall is the oldest fresco, dating back to around the 12th-13th centuries, depicting Christ the Youth; on the walls and on the counter-façade instead the frescoes with the Last Judgement, stories of the life of Christ, Madonna with Child, Saints and Coronation of the Virgin are from the end of the 14th century or the beginning of the following century and are attributable to the post-Vitale Friulian school. The high altar is dedicated to San Mauro while the small side altar is dedicated to the Madonna. Over the years, various sculptors and painters worked on the internal and external decorations such as Andrea Urbani and Zuan Contieri.
