Château de Chambéry

The Château des ducs de Savoie, also known as Château de Chambéry, is a fortified castle dating from the 11th century. It is located in the French commune of Chambéry in the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Modified several times since the 13th century, it has retained its administrative vocation ever since. From 1502 to 1578, the castle chapel housed the Holy Shroud. The bell tower now houses the 70-bell "Saint-François de Sales" carillon, the work of the Paccard foundry in Sévrier. A concert is held every first and third Saturday of the month at 11 am.

Today, the château houses the Savoie Prefecture, the Savoie Departmental Council, and the Savoie Academy.
