Château-Neuf d'Allinges, Medieval castle ruins in Allinges, France.
The castle remains stand at 712 meters altitude on a hilltop, featuring defensive walls and a Romanesque chapel with preserved frescoes.
Built in the 10th century by Burgundian King Rudolf II, the castle served as an administrative center for the Chablais region during medieval times.
Saint Francis de Sales resided at the castle from 1594 to 1595, leading efforts to restore Catholicism in the region after Protestant occupation.
The archaeological site remains open year-round with guided tours available in English and French, offering access to both individual visitors and groups.
The castle's northeast wall reveals three distinct construction phases through its arrow slits and crenellated walkway, documenting medieval military architecture evolution.
