A remarkable castle in Annecy, former residence of the Counts of Geneva, now a museum with a variety of collections.

He watches over the old city with power and benevolence. Former residence of the Counts of Geneva, its construction began in the 13th century. The medieval fortress gradually gave way to the elegance of the Renaissance. After the fire of 1952, the castle was saved thanks to the Société des Amis du Vieil Annecy. Today, a museum presents various collections (art, archaeology, nature), while the Perrière tower is dedicated to the alpine lakes. Guided tours for groups on request. Superb temporary exhibitions.

Well organized and great staff, however I believe the name is misleading because you would imagine you would be seeing aspects of a castle inside which is not the case, there is not much indication of its old architecture specifically on the inside. In addition the collection presented is very limited and am not sure if its worth your time or money depends on what you are Interested in when you visit a museum. They do have temporary exhibitions which could be interesting depending on what is available at the time you visit. If you are still interested in some of the archeological history of the place and you want the kids to see some fish tanks it could still be interesting to visit

Fue una plena experiencia entrar al castillo de Annecy.
Eso sí. Hay que tener condición para subir y bajar.
Desde el castillo se ve muy bonita la ciudad de Annecy, el lago principalmente y casas que lo rodean.
Una de las curiosidades fue que en Annecy hay restos fósiles de sirenas, así como lo escuchas, que me dejaron totalmente impactada.
El personal muy amable, como todo, a algunos no les agrada hablar inglés :).

Con respecto al cuidado del castillo, sean responsables y no anden rayando por allí o sentarse en donde no se debe. Cuidemos el patrimonio.

مجرد زيارة استكشافية

La visite guidée est courte mais informative et beaucoup d'endroits sont accessibles aux visiteurs par la suite. Différentes expositions temporaires y sont aussi proposées.

Chateau beau et imposant, dommage que les expositions n’explique pas la vie du château, les enjeux au fil des siècles… exposition parfois en décalé avec le lieux (aquarium décevant)
