Mazzè Castle, Medieval castle in Mazzè, Italy

Mazzè Castle stands near the Dora Baltea river, raised above the Padanian plain in a wildlife area. It consists of two main buildings: a west wing called the Great Castle and an east wing. The castle was built on the remains of a Roman fortification and later remodeled in Neo-Gothic style by architect Giuseppe Velati Bellini in the 19th century.

The castle began as a medieval fortress and was shaped by the Valperga family over seven centuries. In the 19th century, architect Velati Bellini undertook significant renovations that introduced new architectural elements.

The castle's name comes from the Valperga family, who held it for seven hundred years until the line died out in 1840. Visitors once followed three routes: the Castello Grande with its twelve rooms, an underground museum with prisons, torture instruments and a burial chapel, and the adjoining Bosco Parco oasis.

The castle's visit routes have been closed to the public since 2019, so no guided tours of the interior are currently offered. The building stands a short distance from the Dora Baltea, raised above the plain in an area of faunal interest. Check locally before travelling whether any access has been restored.
