Saint-Pierre Castle, Medieval castle and natural science museum in Saint-Pierre, Italy
The stone castle rises from a rocky outcrop in the Aosta Valley, featuring four round towers and multiple architectural elements from different periods.
The castle originated in 1191 when the de castro Sancti Petri brothers established a fortified house with a tower on the strategic valley position.
The Regional Museum of Natural Science occupies nine rooms inside the castle, presenting exhibitions about local fauna, geology, and environmental studies.
Visitors can access the castle from April through September between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with regular guided tours available during summer months.
The 1873 renovation by architect Camillo Boggio integrated Bavarian architectural influences, transforming the medieval fortress into its current appearance.
