The Keep

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Keep of Alby-sur-Chéran (Haute-Savoie) was one of the seven fortifications that once defended the village and controlled a fording point on the Chéran, along the road linking Annecy and Chambéry. Held by the lords of Montpon, who later abandoned the site to establish their residence elsewhere, it is said to have been destroyed at the end of the 12th century. Its castle chapel survives, reused in the choir of the church of Saint-Maurice, which now occupies the site of the keep, together with the presbytery.
