# Château du Bourget

Le Bourget-du-Lac, Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Château du Bourget stands in Le Bourget-du-Lac (Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 15th century). No visits are on record for this building.

On the southern shore of Lac du Bourget, where the Leysse river meets the water, the ruins of this medieval castle recall one of the favoured residences of the counts of Savoy. Built in the mid-13th century for Thomas of Piedmont, it served as a hunting and fishing retreat as well as a place of diplomacy, before falling out of favour once the counts settled at the château de Ripaille on Lake Geneva. Visitors come mainly for the lakeside setting, since little remains of the original structure.

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