Medieval Montrottier castle is located
in the town of Lovagny, some ten minutes from Annecy, next to
the Fier River gorge. This castle, a beautifully preserved example
of Savoyard military architecture, contains vast collections
of weapons, porcelains, tapestries, period furniture, and, curiously,
art objects from the Far East. It is perched atop a hill which
dominates the countryside. The cobblestone courtyard, medieval
watchtowers and Renaissance gallery form a surprisingly harmonious
structure.
