Château de Gye stands in Giez (Haute-Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 18th century, second half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Giez, in the Haute-Savoie region, the château de Gye stands on the site of a medieval fortified house, first built around the early 15th century, enlarged in the 16th and redecorated in the second half of the 19th. Visitors find a coherent estate combining the manor house with a model farm laid out around 1860, complete with stables and a barn featuring richly carved wooden decoration. The grounds are worth lingering in, with an 18th-century fountain and a series of artificial cascades below the château.
