Coppet Castle, Medieval château in Coppet, Switzerland.
The stone castle stands near Lake Geneva, featuring a south facade with architectural elements from different historical periods and gardens surrounding the structure.
Built in the 13th century, the castle served as residence for Jacques Necker, minister of French King Louis XVI, and later his daughter Germaine de Staël.
The castle became a center for European intellectual discourse when Madame de Staël gathered writers, philosophers, and politicians opposing Napoleon's regime between 1805 and 1816.
Visitors can explore the castle from April through October, Tuesday to Sunday between 14:00 and 18:00, with guided tours available at regular intervals.
The property remains in the possession of the same family for nine generations, maintaining original furniture, art collections, and historical documents from the Napoleonic period.
