Château d'Annecy
Museums / Galleries, Castles / Palaces, Annecy
Fodor's Review:
Crowning the city is one of the most picturesque castles in France, the medieval Château d'Annecy. Set high on a hill opposite the Palais and bristling with stolid towers, the complex is landmarked by the Tour Perrière, which dominates the lake, and the Tour St-Paul, Tour St-Pierre, and Tour de la Reine (the oldest, dating from the 12th century), which overlook the town. All give storybook views over the town and countryside. Dwellings of several eras line the castle courtyard, one of which contains a small museum on Annecy history and how it was shaped by the Nemeurs and Savoie dynasties.
