Château d'Arcine, Medieval castle in Saint-Pierre-en-Faucigny, France.
The Château d'Arcine features a three-story square tower with a main residential building and an interior courtyard decorated with vegetation.
Built between the 9th and 11th centuries, the castle became the seat of a lordship governing an area of twelve square kilometers in the 13th century.
The castle, formerly named Rumilly-sous-Cornillon, represents the feudal organization and local power structure in the Haute-Savoie region.
The ground floor of the main tower contained a prison, while the upper floors include apartments with narrow windows.
Located at 550 meters altitude, the castle overlooks the Borne valley and controlled trade routes through mountain passes.
