The village is pretty and well looked after - worth a visit if you are passing through.

the tower can be seen from afar but it is not really a castle, the story would be interesting but I would like to tell you that there is a sign with three mobile numbers to contact but one did not answer and two were not available on the day. It's a shame because it would have been very nice to see the inside.

Formed by a massive tower built in the 11th century, the original seat of the powerful Lords of Avise, and by the rest of the castle, built later. It was the reason for dynastic causes with the De Blonay, related by marriage. The tower was used as a prison in the 18th century. In good condition, it is private. It is not normally open to visitors, except in the case of particular events.

Sorge presso la Chiesa di San Brizio ed è chiamato la “Maison de Blonay”. La torre quadrata, prima dimora dei Signori di Avise e risalente all'undicesimo secolo, è coronata da una merlatura a coda di rondine e chiari segni indicano che in origine sorse sola: il castello le fu aggiunto in epoca posteriore. La Torre non è visitabile, in quanto è una struttura privata. Tutto appare disabitato e in abbandono anche se sul portone di ingresso vi sono manifesti che ne fanno intuire l'uso come luogo di occasionali mostre o iniziative.
