About

The Château de Châtillon is a former fortified castle dating from the 12th century, with several later modifications. Its ruins are located in the commune of Châtillon-sur-Cluses, in the Haute-Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Between the 13th and 16th centuries, the castle served as the seat of a châtellenie comprising thirteen parishes and later became the administrative center of the Faucigny bailliage.
