The château was built to strengthen the western corner of the fortifications.
The château was passed from the Greysier-Féterne, a younger branch of the Faucigny sires, to the Rovorée family following a marriage in the 15th century and then to the Monastère du Grand-Saint-Bernard known as Montjoux (where the current name comes from). Following a fire in 1557, it was renovated and maintained until the end of the 18th century.
This château has quite a past. In 1752 it was used as Mauritian...
