Annecy Castle (Chateau d’Annecy)

Perched above Annecy’s Old Town, Annecy Castle (Château d’Annecy) served as the princely residence of the Counts of Geneva from the 13th to the 17th centuries. Despite years of neglect and multiple fires, the castle has been meticulously restored and now stands as a historic monument. Today, it houses the Alpine Lakes Regional Observatory and the Musée-Château d’Annecy Museum, offering visitors a chance to explore its rich history and enjoy panoramic views of the town and surrounding landscapes.
