Château de Duingt, Medieval castle on Lake Annecy, France
The stone fortress stands on a rocky promontory connected to the mainland by a causeway, offering views across Lake Annecy.
Built between 1103 and 1148, the castle served as a strategic stronghold for the Counts of Geneva, controlling the route between Geneva and Moûtiers.
The castle hosts the annual Festival La Presqu'île, bringing together artists and performers in its preserved medieval setting.
The castle permits private events and weddings from May to October, with advance reservations required through the castle administration.
An octagonal tower with hexagonal exterior walls and circular interior space remains as the primary structure of the original medieval fortress.
