Château des Marches, Fortified house in Porte-de-Savoie, France
The Château des Marches features three buildings arranged in a U-shape with a marble colonnade on its northeastern facade from the Louis XVI period.
The castle construction began in 1301 under Amadeus V with wooden structures, later renovated in stone by Aymon from 1342 to strengthen the defense of Chambéry.
The ballroom, built between 1780 and 1790 by Eugene de Bellegarde, measures 18 meters long by 14 meters wide with interior decorations by the Galliari brothers.
The fortress stands at a strategic position near major roads, offering views across the region and maintaining its original defensive architecture for visitors to explore.
During both World Wars, from 1914 to 1918 and 1939 to 1940, the castle served as a military hospital supporting regional medical operations.
