Château d'Avully, Medieval castle in Brenthonne, France.
The Château d'Avully features a quadrangular enclosure with moats, towers, walkways, and residential buildings arranged around a central courtyard.
Built in the 14th century, the castle controlled a key passage between Mont de Boisy and Les Voirons, providing access to the Chablais region.
The Saint-Michel family, who owned the castle in 1499, underwent religious changes, converting to Protestantism in 1536 before returning to Catholicism in 1596.
The castle opens for guided tours Monday through Friday from July 1st to August 31st, between 1:30 PM and 6:00 PM.
Archaeological findings during restoration work revealed fragments of tiles and ceramics, indicating the castle stands on the site of a former Roman villa.
