Castello di Introd

Castello di Introd rises on a promontory between the gorges of Savara and Dora di Rhêmes rivers, forming a pentagon-shaped structure with stone walls.

The castle originated in the 12th century as a square keep, later transformed by Pierre Sarriod into a five-sided configuration around 1260.

The castle represents the architectural heritage of Valle d'Aosta through its wooden granary, decorated door lintels, and traditional mountain construction techniques.

Visitors can access the ground floor and gardens during summer months, with guided tours available from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:30 to 18:30.

Two significant fires in the 19th century led to extensive reconstruction work by architect Chevalley, who preserved the original medieval features.
