Château de Longefan stands in La Biolle (Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
The château de Longefan stands at the foot of the Biolle mountain, in the commune of La Biolle in Savoy, between the hamlets of Les Plagnes and Troissy. Once a fortified house remodeled at the end of the 15th century, it kept an unusual outline, often likened to the bow of a ship. An 18th-century gateway leads into a courtyard and raised gardens overlooked by a half-round tower, while vaulted rooms remain below. The estate passed through several noble families over the centuries before becoming, in the 20th century, a boarding house and later a property split among private owners.
