Very scenic, very photographable, too bad it has been closed since 2019 and we don't know when it will be able to reopen (if it will reopen...)

Place to visit .a fantastic view and the castle can be reached by car. Once parked you can visit on foot in complete tranquility. Nice place, it's a shame that it isn't advertised very well, it would be nice to enhance this place more.

According to a citizen of Mazzè we met during our walk, unfortunately the castle cannot be visited because it is private property (apparently it belongs to a wealthy Russian family). It can be easily reached on foot from the center following the homonymous "via castello". In addition to it, the center of Mazzè is full of suggestive corners, each with its own story or legend (such as the legend of the painting of San Michele, also called the painting of the devil - let someone tell you about it if you meet it) . In August there is practically no soul away, and it is a pity that these historic villages do not receive the attention they deserve. Do not miss the view of the Dora Baltea and the Canavese landscape from the garden in Piazza Camino and Prolà near the castle. traveleconlentezza.it

Sometimes small jewels are discovered right next to home, in a suggestive place with a balcony on the Dora, a castle that has its origins on a Roman fortress up to its current appearance, the result of a profound reworking in the nineteenth century by the last Valperga, left then to abandonment until a substantial recovery during the twentieth century. Coming from a path overlooking the river, you have a different perspective which is completed by arriving in the square where the Parish Church is located, a very pleasant surprise.
