Château de Marclaz
Château de Marclaz, Fortified house in Thonon-les-Bains, France.
Château de Marclaz is a fortified house located near Thonon-les-Bains, featuring a rectangular main building with two stories and distinctive mullioned windows. A round tower with an internal spiral staircase forms an integral part of the structure.
The fortress was built around 1500 as a fortified residence in the region. It suffered significant destruction in 1589 during military conflicts involving the Duke of Savoy against Geneva and France.
The property earned recognition as a French historical monument through an official decree issued on July 12, 1995.
The site is located about 4 kilometers southwest of Thonon-les-Bains town center, near the left bank of the Pamphiot River. It sits along the Geneva road route, making it reasonably accessible to visitors exploring the area.
The round tower retains its original bell-shaped roof from the late medieval period. This architectural feature is noteworthy because it reflects the design traditions of that era.
