The castle of Fénis, located on a portion of territory without natural defenses, combines the features of a fortification with those of a noble residence. Known for its extraordinary architecture, with its towers and crenellated walls, it strikes those who observe it and immediately recalls the history, life and art of the Middle Ages. The manor is the synthesis of several construction campaigns that followed one another over the years, due to the most important exponents of the Challant family: they enriched it with elegant pictorial decorations to make it suitable as a representative seat and endowed it with an imposing defensive apparatus, as a testimony of power and prestige.
