Description

Inhabited by the same family since the 11th century and built between the 12th and 20th centuries, it still contains its rich variety of furniture and period decoration. Nestled on a rocky outcrop, it offers a sublime view of the lake and the landscape.
In the 12th century, the castle had only three high square towers linked by sentry walks and a large courtyard where the villagers found refuge in times of trouble.

During the Renaissance, the austere castle was transformed into a place of residence. Then, at the end of the 18th century, a facade was built, opening up a view of the lake.

Then, at the end of the 19th century, under the impetus of the great-grandfather of the current owners, René de Menthon, the castle began its great metamorphosis towards that romantic subtlety which makes up its charm and even its mystery...

Sustainable tourism

In the heart of nature, between the lake and the mountains, the château is part of a natural estate that it aims to preserve. Since 2018, a permaculture vegetable garden has been developed and the biodynamic vines have been replanted on the flanc de colline. In addition, a cycle of conferences on these themes is being organised.
