Fenis Castle is one of the most famous castles in Aosta Valley. It has become one of the major tourist attractions of the region for its architecture and its many towers and battlemented walls.
Despite its impressive defensive structure, the castle was not built for military purposes, but to serve as a prestigious residence for the Challant family. Today, the castle is owned by the Autonomous Region Aosta Valley, which turned it into a museum.
