Château de Troches

Château de Troches is a "château de plaine", with Savoyard-style architecture and a large park stretching out to the west. Today, the Château is a private site that cannot be visited.
The foundations of Château de Troches date back to the 13th century. The Troches noble family is mentioned as early as the 13th century, with Guillaume de Troches, prior of Nyon, then Peillonnex in 1286.
In the mid-14th century, the Château was owned by the Ternier family. In 1341, Girard de Ternier sold the stronghold to Amédée III of Geneva.
In 1445, the estate reverted to Amédée VIII, Duke of Savoy. It was later sold to Antoine Passerat, in whose favor it became a barony in 1682.
The Château then passed through the hands of several owners, who carried out numerous renovations. By the end of the 18th century, however, the buildings were in a sorry state.
In 1854, Charles-Félix Trédicini de Saint-Séverin inherited the property. The property remains in his family to this day.
