Old château

The old château sits on an expansive estate with formal gardens, outbuildings, and woodland areas beside a river. The main building contains multiple bedrooms and bathrooms along with modern amenities including central heating.

The estate was built in the 16th century using materials from a demolished local church. A staircase inside bears an engraving from the early 17th century marking renovation work.

The stone in the garden carries connections to early religious practices and remains visible as part of the property's design. Visitors can experience this element today as an integrated part of how the grounds reflect the past.

The grounds provide access to gardens and woodland paths in a quiet rural setting. The riverside location makes it pleasant for walking and exploring the surrounding landscape.

On clear days, visitors standing on the property's higher ground can see across the plains toward Lake Geneva, Mont Blanc, and the distant Alps. Plaster copies of Roman statues line the hedge rows, giving the grounds a classical garden aesthetic.
