About
The Château de Faucigny is a former fortified castle dating from the 11th century, the ruins of which stand in the commune of Faucigny in the department of Haute-Savoie, within the Auvergne–Rhône-Alpes region. It was the original seat of the lords of Faucigny, who controlled the Arve Valley, and later became the center of a châtellenie from their disappearance, from the 13th to the 16th century.
