15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?

[Dana Scott]

The oldest building with these battlements that I’ve ever found dates back to 925–930. It’s a two-story residential tower with a surrounding wall. It’s located near Aosta in northern Italy, in a village on a main road.
I’ve been looking for it again for a long time, but since Google Earth deleted its photos, I haven’t had any luck.
It’s interesting to me because it predates the House of Savoy by 100 years.
It’s also worth noting that at the time, the wall had no military purpose. It was simply to prevent people from stealing your pigs and goats.
Now Marco will wonder, why am I mentioning Savoy?
I live 150 meters from the former residence of Margarethe of Savoy, the sister of Count Peter I of Savoy.

Perhaps Fenis Castle is what you are looking for?
