Château de Caramagne, Renaissance castle in Chambéry, France.
Château de Caramagne is a Renaissance castle perched on the La Boisse hilltop and displays architectural features characteristic of that period with marble columns and decorated ceilings. The interior rooms feature refined stucco work and decorative elements added in the 18th century by artists from Piedmont.
The castle was founded in the 16th century by Bernardino Becchi, a jurist from the Italian town of Caramagna. It later expanded and received decorative additions throughout the 18th century.
The grand hall served as a setting for important gatherings and social occasions among the region's prominent families. Today visitors can walk through the rooms that reflected the daily life of those who lived here.
The castle opens to visitors primarily during heritage open day events when the decorated interiors can be seen. Plan your visit around these specific occasions as regular access to the interior is limited outside these periods.
The decoration of the rooms from the late 18th century is officially registered in the French inventory of historical monuments. This registration preserves these ornamental elements and makes the place particularly noteworthy for those interested in craftsmanship and historical details.
