Château d'Aiguebelette-le-Lac

The castle remains include sections of defensive walls and the foundations of two round towers at the corners of the structure.

Built in the early 14th century, the castle was reconstructed around 1305 under the lordship of Geoffroy de Clermont after its first destruction.

The castle and its fortified town formed a defensive system covering nearly one hectare, representing medieval military architecture in France.

The base of the quadrangular keep from 1872 remains visible among the ruins, accessible through the direction of Lépin-le-Lac.

The castle's esplanade later served as a terrace for a former hotel-chalet, marking an interesting transformation in its function over time.
