Bellerive Castle, 17th-century château in Collonge-Bellerive, Switzerland

The stone château stands on sloping grounds leading to Lake Geneva, with the Jura mountains forming a backdrop to this aristocratic residence.

Built in 1666 for Charles-Emmanuel II, the construction of Bellerive Castle sparked a conflict between the Republic of Geneva and the Duchy of Savoy.

The castle earned the designation of class A Swiss cultural property, reflecting its status as a nationally important architectural heritage site.

Recent renovation plans include the addition of an indoor swimming pool and underground parking, pending approval from local heritage preservation authorities.

In 2022, the castle set a Canton record when it was purchased for 106 million Swiss francs by Dinara Kulibaeva, daughter of Kazakhstan's former president.
