Fénis Castle
Fénis Castle is a medieval fortified residence in the town of Fénis in Italy's Aosta Valley, notable for its pentagonal keep, corner towers and double crenellated boundary walls. Built and expanded by the Challant family across the 14th and early 15th centuries, it functioned as a noble court with gardens and service buildings. It was restored in the 20th century and today houses a museum.

As it stood in 1400
The shape it held in its prime.
The castle presents a pentagonal stone keep with stout towers at each corner, encircled by a double crenellated outer wall and a ring of square watchtowers linked by a wall-walk. Tower roofs are low, stone-slate hipped caps; curtain walls are built of grey local masonry with rectangular slits and crenelated parapets. The inner open courtyard contains a semi-circular stone staircase and wooden balconies. The complex stands on a small knoll above the town with a river valley and mountains beyond.
