# Château de Saint-Michel-du-Lac

No visits are on record for this building.

On a rocky outcrop at the entrance to the Chamonix valley, the remains of the Saint-Michel-du-Lac castle mark the site of a fortress built in the late 13th century. Straddling the modern boundary between Servoz and Les Houches, the position once allowed control over the passage between the Arve valley and Chamonix. Only ruins remain today, yet the place still recalls the old rivalry between the Chamonix priory and the lords of Faucigny.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
