Château de Ville, Medieval castle in Challand-Saint-Victor, Italy
The castle stands on a rocky hill overlooking the hamlets of Nabian and Targnod, with a central tower and surrounding fortified walls.
The construction started in 1200 when Count Thomas I of Savoy granted permission to Boson III of Challant to build a fortress at this location.
The castle became the primary residence of Ebal the Great, who expanded the structure and added a chapel decorated with period frescoes.
The castle ruins require careful observation from a distance due to structural instability and current preservation regulations in place.
In 1453, the garrison successfully repelled commissioners sent by Duke Louis of Savoy who attempted to seize control of the property.
