This castle or château as they call em here in france is not so far away from our place, its less than 10 minutes away by car, and yet this was the first time we tried to take a closer look.
I like old buildings and the history behind them. I looked this castle up in google and it turned out to be older than what I thought. It was built in 1328 and owned by the Compey family of Geneva, it was passed to other owners later. In 1589 it was taken by force by the troops of Geneva who entered the Savoie region, till 1606. it is owned by a farm now.
its amazing who those people manage to kept thier identity through thier buildings so you can travel back in time and see how other poeple used to live and do thier constructions! bravooo 3lehum!

It’s fascinating. Can you tour the buildings and outbuildings? Is there a small museum there?
