Royal castle of Cogne, Medieval castle in Cogne, Italy
The castle stands next to the parish church of Cogne, featuring a massive tower structure and offering views of the Gran Paradiso and Mont Blanc mountains.
The first records of the castle date back to 1191 when Bishop Gualberto of Aosta received permission from Count Thomas of Savoy to build a fortress.
The castle served as a central meeting point where the local community gathered at the sound of church bells to discuss important matters.
The building now functions as a residential complex with twelve apartments across five floors, equipped with an elevator for convenient access.
In 1875, King Victor Emmanuel II transformed the structure into a hunting lodge and installed a telegraph office within its walls.
