The building shows a constructive and decorative structure that is entirely consistent with the dates shown in the historical sources: 1600, the year to which the first mention of the internal chapel dates back, in its current forms; 1620, the year in which the Caroelli family bought the fiefdom of Garbagna Novarese. The construction site, therefore, dates back to the first decade after the middle of the 18th century; it would have been completed in 1640, or in the years immediately following, that is shortly before or on the occasion of the advent of the Caroelli family.[2]

To contribute to a date of the building the construction techniques provided, homogeneous in most of the building, with completely distinctive characteristics of a building site dating back to the two decades following the middle of the century: masonry of scope and spine with the associated categories (even less than the normalized wall sections of the previous centuries or even of the following century, the 19th century), and yet despite the load of the vaults and floors; lowered vaults, also with relatively present load-bearing sections, laws for construction materials (brick, even canned), so as not to burden the walled support materials.[3]
