Description
The château, of classical medieval construction, was home to the seigneury of Ternier, whose jurisdiction extended over the Genevois region. The château Comtal was separated from La Poype by a mound and two ditches.
Partly built on two levels, it was composed of various buildings: stables, granaries, wine presses, garrison accommodation, bedrooms and Count's garden, kitchens, chapel... Like La Poype, it served as a residence for the Counts of Geneva and later the Dukes of Savoy.
