Ussel Castle, Medieval castle in Châtillon, Italy
The rectangular castle stands on a rocky promontory with two round towers on the southern side and two four-sided towers on the northern facade.
Ebalo II of Challant constructed this fortress in the mid-14th century, marking the first single-body castle design in Valle d'Aosta region.
The castle features Gothic architectural elements, including mullioned windows with floral and geometric decorations, and monumental fireplaces arranged in ascending lines.
Guided tours operate on select weekends with a maximum group of 25 people, focusing on the ground floor and one room upstairs.
The castle sits on serpentinite rock, separated from the mountain by the Aosta-Ranzola fault, offering views over the Valtournenche valley.
