Take a tour of Annecy Castle in France – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Castle of Annecy (AHN-e-see)is one of the most prominent structures located within the town of the same name; it came under the town’s ownership in 1953.
Certain angles of the castle provide visitors with a spectacular view over the rooftops of Old Town.
Over time, the castle walls have housed the Counts of Geneva as well some prominent dukes.
No castle survives as long as this one without its fair share of tragedies; this castle was subjected to the destructive force of several fires.
The stone halls of this great castle were neglected and devoid of life when its owners abandoned it to ruin in the 17th century.
Like many historic landmarks, the Castle of Annecy has now become a museum.
