Casarasco castle was built in the 9th century and is one of the oldest in the region. It was one of castles owned by the Malaspina family and was mentioned first time in 1164. The northern wing is only remaining part of the original castle. Today the castle can be reached for example by the nature trail 'Sentiero delle fontane'.
The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
