Château de la Pesse stands in Annecy-le-Vieux (Haute-Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

On the Vignères hillside in Annecy-le-Vieux, the château de la Pesse is a former fortified manor dating from the 14th century, once positioned to watch over the gorge leading to Lake Annecy. A solid, rectangular building typical of Savoyard fortified houses, it was altered several times over the centuries by a succession of owners. Restored in recent decades, it remains a private property, though its history is closely tied to the noble families of Savoy.
