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.

Je n'ai pas pu faire toute la visite du château alors mon avis concerne seulement l'exposition temporaire sur les Burgondes. Ayant étudié la thématique des barbares cette année à l'université, je reconnais que l'exposition est complète et explique d'une très bonne manière l'histoire connue des Burgondes tout en mettant en avant les récentes reconsidérations de cette période de migration. Par un manque évident d'objets archéologiques de cette population, la visite nécessite une grande attention lors de la lecture des cartels.

Beatyfull castle from the outside. Had to wait around 10mim to get inside since it was bussy at the ticket entrance. Inside of the castle shows a bit about the city of Annecy, about the lake and fishermen, and paintings from artists from the area.

The downside I thought was a section full of modern art. Here they just nailed some Corrugated sheets against a wall and called it art. It looked more like trash and i dont think modern art belongs in a historic castle.

Se si passa da queste parti è d'obbligo la visita. Passato il centro storico rimane sulla sommità della città. È ancora in ottimo stato, nella porzione a Nord sui tre piani sono collocati reperti e degli strumenti da pesca storici che parlano del lago di Annency. Nella parte a Sud- Ovest nelle sale interne troviamo una mostra di arte contemporanea e dei reperti storico -sacri della zona.

Beau château vu de l’extérieur uniquement.
Sur le site il est annoncé l’ouverture le matin jusqu’à 12:00.
Arrivés à 11:15, la billetterie est fermée !
Cette information devrait être précisée pour éviter de décevoir la cinquantaine de personnes qui se sont présentées après nous
