Rovorée Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Rovorée Castle, whose ruins stand on the Rovorée – la Châtaigneraie estate at Yvoire, is today part of a 24-hectare natural site owned by the Haute-Savoie Department and the Conservatoire du littoral. The park, laid out in a Romantic style during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries around the remains of the medieval fortress, offers 1.2 km of lakeshore on Lake Geneva, giant sequoias and centuries-old chestnut trees, and is home to 350 plant species, 87 bird species, 29 butterfly species and 13 bat species. It is one of the few publicly accessible spaces on the French shore of Lake Geneva.
