Il CASTELLO di Caselette è uno dei più antichi di tutta la valle di Susa, essendo stato probabilmente edificato in età arduinica (XI sec.). Il feudo, con il castello di Caselette, fu proprietà dei Savoia, fu tolto loro dal Barbarossa e affidato ai marchesi del Monferrato, per poi tornare sotto i signori sabaudi nel Trecento. Nel XIV secolo Caselette fu dei signori di Trofarello e di Cumiana; alla metà del Cinquecento dei Valperga, poi dei Cauda che si estinsero nel 1794, infine dei conti Cays di Pierlas. Carlo Alberto Cays, morto nel 1882, fu sindaco di Caselette e deputato al parlamento subalpino; ospitò nel castello san Giovanni Bosco e, dopo essere diventato sacerdote salesiano, donò il castello alla congregazione religiosa. Nel corso dei secoli il Castello ha perso sempre più i suoi connotati di difesa per trasformarsi esclusivamente in residenza signorile, soprattutto dopo le ristrutturazioni e i rifacimenti cui è stato sottoposto nel Seicento e Settecento. Venne ancora ampliato in forme neogotiche nel XIX secolo, in occasione di un soggiorno di Vittorio Emanuele II. Il castello, che sorge su un piccolo poggio sopra l'abitato di Caselette, è abbellito da un ampio giardino all'inglese realizzato dai Conti Cays. Le tracce dell'antico recinto con torre sono appena riconoscibili in qualche tratto dei muri basamentali, mentre l'aggregazione dei grandi volumi aggiunti non consente di riconoscere alcun elemento architettonico connotativo. Oggi ha l'aspetto di una residenza ottocentesca.
