Dardagny Castle, Stately home in Dardagny, Switzerland.

Dardagny Castle is a stately home in Geneva Canton with a rectangular structure, central tower, and a notable spiral staircase. This staircase connects multiple sections of the building and gives it a distinctive shape.

The castle grew from two fortified houses built between the 13th and 17th centuries that were later unified under single ownership. A gallery connected the two structures, making them function as one complex.

The Knights' Hall contains a historical organ built by the Scherrer brothers in 1780, reflecting the musical tradition of Swiss nobility.

The building now serves as a municipal building and school located at Route du Mandement 520 in the commune of Dardagny. The site is accessible on foot and sits in the countryside of Geneva Canton.

The building narrowly escaped demolition in 1904 when local protests convinced authorities to preserve it instead of constructing a new school. This rescue made it an example of saving historical architecture in the region.
