En un regard
Le château en bref
Montvuagnard Castle, of which only very scant remains survive (traces of a few walls), was a fortified manor house belonging to the Vuagnard family, originating from the Genevois, situated between the hamlets of Chèdes-des-Dessus and Vons on a small mound overlooking the passage of the torrent. It was one of the seven castles (along with Châteauvieux, Le Donjon, Montconon, Montdésir, Montpon and Pierrecharve) that provided the defence of Alby. Passed around 1650 to the de Montpon family, it was partly dismantled in 1746 by the senator Cormand de Montpon, and then by Count Joseph de Thiollaz, who reused its stones to extend the neighbouring Château de Montpon.
