Maison forte de Dalmaz, Medieval fortified residence in La Balme-de-Sillingy, France.

The Maison forte de Dalmaz features stone walls, defensive elements, and a central tower positioned on a strategic hilltop location.

Built by the Counts of Geneva in the 13th century, the fortress served as a defense point and remained with the Dalmaz family until the 18th century.

The fortress represents the feudal architecture of Haute-Savoie, incorporating an Italian Renaissance staircase within its medieval structure.

The castle stands as a private property, with limited public access, and has undergone several restorations throughout the 20th century.

The structure contains one of the region's few remaining monumental Italian Renaissance staircases, marking its architectural significance.
