The park survives thanks to delicate balances that must not be altered. This is why its use must be limited to respectful, peaceful and serene walks in the areas open to visitors.
No picnic.
Prohibited to dogs and other animals.
The site is accessible to people with disabilities (with advance notice). However, it is recommended that you be accompanied and use an outdoor wheelchair or one with wheels suitable for uneven terrain. The surface may be uneven or gravelly in places, so caution is advised on uneven sections.
Location
The park is part of the castle with the same name, situated on a height behind the Châtillon parish church.
History
The park, like the castle and the French styled Renaissance garden, assumed its current conformation in 1706. In fact, thanks to Paolina Solaro di Govone, wife of Giorgio Francesco di Challant, the castle was fully reconstructed and new trees were planted in the park. Nowadays the park belongs to the countness Claudia Passerin d’Entrèves.
Description
Various trees were identified in this park as “monumental plants”, of different varieties, protected by a specific regional law.
A sign has been placed before all the monumental plants listing their characteristics.
The park covers about 3 hectares but only 2 hectares are accessible and constantly monitored.
The non-usable areas are clearly marked with specific prohibition signs.
