Château de Montdragon stands in Saint-Genix-les-Villages (Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The château de Montdragon, in Saint-Genix-les-Villages, Savoie, belongs to history rather than to the landscape: this comital stronghold, first recorded in the 13th century, has since vanished and time has erased any visible trace of it. Built near the village church, it served for over a century as a seat of power for the Counts of Savoy, where agreements were signed and princely weddings celebrated, including that of Humbert of Savoy in 1341. There is nothing physical to see here, only the memory of a site whose medieval political weight stands in contrast to its complete disappearance.
