Castello Jocteau, Eclectic palace in Aosta, Italy
The Castello Jocteau stands at 654 meters above sea level on Beauregard hill, featuring square and circular towers with mountain views.
Baroness Candida Jocteau Bombrini commissioned the construction of the castle between 1906 and 1907, and the Italian State acquired it in 1934.
The neo-Gothic chapel within the castle contains a crucifix donated by Pope John Paul II and wooden furnishings with a painting of Madonna.
The castle serves as the headquarters of the Aosta Military Alpine School and includes a small museum dedicated to mountaineering activities.
The castle grounds contain a climbing wall from the early 1900s, specifically designed for alpine training exercises.
