Château de Faverges-de-la-Tour stands in Faverges-de-la-Tour (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Château de Faverges-de-la-Tour overlooks the village of the same name in the Isère department, west of the town centre, on a site that once controlled routes linking Vienne to Aoste and Chambéry. Originally built in the 15th century, the building bears traces of successive alterations, including a 19th-century restoration that gave it an Italian-inspired appearance and a tower topped with machicolations. Visitors can also see 18th-century outbuildings with vaulted stables, and a corner tower that lost its upper section during the Revolution.
