The Aosta Valley is famous for being a land rich in castles. In ages past, noble families — the House of Savoy in particular — chose this region as a dwelling place for its strategic position. Located in the beautiful Alpine landscape, the area has also been an essential meeting point between the Mediterranean and northern European countries.

The castles of the Aosta Valley

La Casa del Grillo Bed & Breakfast in Aosta recommends some of the most beautiful castles in this area, which are always open for visitors. These include:
  • Fort Bard, which today houses the Museum of the Alps, a very suggestive place and important cultural centre where exhibitions by great international artists are held.
  • Fénis Castle, built in the Medieval era and decorated with magnificent frescoes, this is a classic castle with towers and turrets joined by crenellated walls.
  • Savoy Castle (Gressoney Saint-Jean). In 1899 King Umberto I laid the first stone of this castle, which was owned by the Savoy family and destined to become a marvellous residence. Queen Margherita spent her summers here for more than 20 years.
  • Issogne Castle, a rich Renaissance residence that has been maintained and renovated over the years.
  • Verrès Castle, whose cubic shape represents strength and vigor, is the most aristocratic monument of the feudal period in the Aosta Valley.
  • The two Castles of Saint Pierre. The first is nicknamed 'the castle of the fairies' due to its decidedly fairy-like appearance when viewed from the outside; it was built to become a romantic residence. The second, the Sarriod De La Tour castle, has an irregular appearance due to the series of builders that worked on it over the centuries.
