Château d'Héré (Château de Dérée)

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château d'Héré stands in the old village of Duingt (Haute-Savoie), on the shore of Lake Annecy. It was a fortified house (maison forte) at the end of the 14th century, was rebuilt at the end of the 15th or the beginning of the 16th century, and was restored in the Neo-Gothic style at the end of the 19th century. A 16th-century fresco survives on the first floor. The château, with its old walls, outbuildings and grounds, has been listed as a monument historique by order of 6 April 2006; the fresco and the neighbouring barn had been listed on 6 December 1984. It is privately owned and cannot be visited. It is the most recent of Duingt's three châteaux, alongside Châteauvieux and the Château du Roc.
