Tours de Chignin, Medieval towers in Chignin, France.
Four stone towers stand on a hill at the crossroads of Chambéry, Combe de Savoie, and Grésivaudan valleys in eastern France.
Built in the 13th century, these towers were constructed during the division of the Chignin lordship, with each heir establishing their own fortress.
The Tower of Biguerne was converted into a chapel in 1877 to honor Saint Anthelme, who was born at Chignin Castle in the 12th century.
The site remains open throughout the year, with visitors accessing the towers through marked paths from the village of Chignin in Savoie.
Originally consisting of seven to ten towers, this medieval complex covered five hectares, making it one of the largest fortifications in medieval Savoie.
