Matsutô castle was a fortress located in [[Kaga province]], in what is today the city of Hakusan, in Ishikawa prefecture.
The castle was originally built in the early [[Kamakura period]], by [[Matsuto Norimitsu|Matsutô Jûrô Norimitsu]], whose descendants continued to reside there and to control the surrounding area for a number of generations, lending their family name to the place. The castle fell to the [[Kaga ikki|Ikkô-ikki]] along with the rest of the province in the 1480s. When [[Shibata Katsuie]] conquered the province in the name of [[Oda Nobunaga]] roughly 100 years later, he placed [[Tokuyama Norihide]] in command of Matsutô.
[[Maeda Toshinaga]] seized the castle a few years later, in [[1583]]. The territory was valued at 40,000 ''[[koku]]'' at this time. He remained there for three years, and in [[1600]], following the [[battle of Sekigahara]], he assigned the castle to the [[Akaza clan]], on the orders of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. It was destroyed shortly afterward, when the "one castle per domain" policy was implemented by the [[Tokugawa shogunate|shogunate]].
