Casaforte Passerin d'Entrèves, Medieval fortified house in Entrèves, Courmayeur, Italy
The Casaforte Passerin d'Entrèves stands in the center of Entrèves village, featuring Gothic windows and a pointed arch door with defensive elements.
Built in 1351 by Jean de Curia Majori, the fortress changed ownership through several noble families until the Passerin family acquired it in 1711.
The structure evolved from a rural fortress to an aristocratic residence, reflecting the changing social patterns of the Aosta Valley through centuries.
The fortress remains a private residence of the Passerin family and does not allow public visits, particularly during summer when the owners occupy the property.
A spiral staircase connects the floors inside the fortress, where rooms display original Gothic arches and a collection of historical art objects.
