En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château du Noiret, in the hamlet of Lornard in Saint-Jorioz, belonged to the Derée de Duingt family in the 15th century, then to the Pelard family (magistrates) from the mid-16th century. In 1708, the lord of Mompilon, who lived there through his marriage to the widow of André Pelard, was implicated in the murder of the priest Joseph Durand and sentenced to life as a galandeau. Bought in 1757 by Jean Deffrene, the estate was bequeathed in 1866 to the Hospices civils d'Annecy by Dr Félix Anthonioz, mayor of Saint-Jorioz. Its chapel collapsed in 1883, and then a violent fire devastated the building in 1890; it was rebuilt on a reduced scale.
