En un regard
Le château en bref
Dardagny Castle, in the canton of Geneva, is a fortified quadrangle flanked by four square towers, the result of the merging of two fortified houses in the 17th century. The seat of the noble family of Dardagny, first mentioned in 1356, it was transformed from 1655 onwards by Daniel Favre, lord of Châteauvieux. Passing to the Lullin family and then to the banker Jean Vasserot, it received between 1735 and 1740 a ballroom with Baroque trompe-l'œil decoration and a monumental staircase, as well as terraced gardens. Almost in ruins in 1920, it was restored from 1926 to 1932 by Frédéric Mezger to house the town hall and the school.
