En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château d'Arenthon, also known as the Château de Sonnaz, is a residence in the Faucigny that succeeded a fortified house probably dating from the 13th century. An inscription on the façade gives 1628 as the date of its reconstruction. The lordship, attested with Guillaume de Lucinge in 1276 and then Pierre de Lucinge in 1306, was raised to a barony in 1615 for Philippe de Lucinge and to a county by ducal decree in 1681. It passed to the Arenthon d'Alex family, then by marriage to the Conzié family in 1705, then to the Gerbais de Sonnaz family until 1921; M. Dumarais bought it in 1924. The building, divided into several dwellings in the 1980s, is today a private residence.
