Château de Novel stands in Annecy (Haute-Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In the modern district of Novel, at the foot of the Annecy-le-Vieux hill, stands a former fortified house whose origins trace back to the 12th century, when the counts of Geneva stayed here before settling at the château d'Annecy. The present building, with its quadrangular layout and round tower, dates mainly from the 15th century. Owned by the town since 1972, it reflects a long agricultural and religious past, having once belonged to the de Sales family and later served as a farm run by the Visitandines until the Revolution.
