Le château en bref
Castagnery Castle, in Argentine (Savoy), is a seventeenth-century U-shaped building set on a terrace. Its central section features Renaissance-style arcaded galleries that were restored in the twentieth century. The Castagnery family, barons of Châteauneuf and counts of Vaudier in Piedmont, settled in Savoy around 1510. A chapel dedicated to Saint Teresa and Saint Anthony of Padua was consecrated in 1785 by Louise Thérèse de Valfrey, widow of Baron Pierret Antoine de Castagnery. Sold as national property after the Revolution, the castle subsequently passed through several owners. The cellars retain the bases of two much older towers, and an 80 m underground passage links low defensive works. Private property.
