Fénis Castle, located in the town of Fénis in Italy's Aosta Valley, is a medieval gem that attracts tourists from far and wide. With its impressive architecture, numerous towers, and battlemented walls, it's no wonder this castle has become one of the region's top attractions. Originally built in the 14th century, it underwent expansions and renovations under the Challant family's lordship, reaching its peak splendor under Boniface I of Challant. However, after changing hands and falling into disrepair, the castle was eventually restored in the 20th century and now serves as a museum. Visitors can explore its pentagonal layout, admire the frescoes by Giacomo Jaquerio, and get a glimpse into the lives of the castle's former inhabitants. Fénis Castle is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!
