En un regard
Le château en bref
The Prieuré de Montjoux, known as the Château de Rives, in Rives-sous-Thonon (Thonon-les-Bains, Haute-Savoie), is a former 14th-century religious establishment that was long regarded as a fortified house or château. It is one of the few medieval buildings preserved in the Chablais. Held in the 15th century by the lords of Greysier-Féterne, it was damaged by fire in 1557, housed a Mauritian military order in 1752, was sold in 1791 to Count Janus de Sonnaz, returned to private residential use in 1920, and was transferred to the town in 1999 by the Lugon family. The façades, roofs, enclosed courtyard and gateway have been listed as historic monuments since 28 June 1932. It is not currently open to visitors.
