Châtelard Castle, Aosta Valley

Châtelard Castle (Italian: Castello di Châtelard, French: Château de Châtelard) is a medieval castle near the town of La Salle in the Aosta Valley region of Italy.^[1]

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]
