Château fort de Conflans, Medieval fortress in Conflans, France.

The stone fortification stands on a rocky promontory at the meeting point of the Arly and Isère rivers in the Savoie region.

Built in the 11th century, the castle served as a strategic control point between France and Savoy, hosting important episcopal meetings in 1142.

The fortress represents medieval military architecture with its remaining walls, connected gates, and a 12th-century central tower structure.

The castle ruins can be observed from the exterior, with informational panels explaining the historical significance of different architectural elements.

The site underwent substantial modifications in 1875 when military batteries were installed, leading to significant alterations of the original structure.
