Château de Chevron, Medieval castle in Mercury, France

The stone fortress stands on elevated ground in the Savoie region, featuring distinct architectural elements from the 14th and 17th centuries.

The castle belonged to the Quilliard family who provided sanctuary to ten Jewish individuals during World War II, ensuring their survival through protection.

The structure received monument historique status on May 17, 1982, preserving its architectural heritage for future generations of visitors.

Located at 1168 Route de Chevron in Mercury, the castle remains a private property with limited access to the general public.

Pope Nicholas II, born between 990 and 995 at this location, connects the castle to significant religious history of medieval France.
