The Châtelard Castle

The castle is believed to have been built by Rodolphe Grossi, who was Bishop of Aosta from 1243. The castle is first documented in 1248, and took the form of a circular tower reminiscent of the fortified constructions of Peter II, Count of Savoy, to whom Grossi was a close advisor.[1]
