Château de Montrottier, Medieval castle in Lovagny, France.
The castle stands near the Fier River gorge, featuring pentagonal ramparts and a cylindrical tower that rises above the surrounding landscape.
Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, the castle belonged to several notable families including Duke Amadeus VIII of Savoy and the Menthon family.
The castle houses extensive collections of artifacts, including Renaissance bronze panels, weapons, ceramics, and period furniture from various regions.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds and interior chambers from April through September, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The castle maintains its original collection arrangement exactly as collector Leon Mares left it when he donated the property in 1916.

Annecy attracts equally with its lake and its preserved Alpine village ambiance. Between nature, gastronomy, and heritage, the town stretches between the mountains and the clear water of the lake, lined with canals and colorful facades. Strolling along the Thiou, climbing up to the castle, or taking boat trips to Talloires and Veyrier are popular activities. The surroundings are filled with easily accessible peaks, scenic trails, and starred restaurants. Each season offers a reason to return, whether for markets, beaches, or the first snow on the Aravis.
