Château de Buisson-Rond

About

The castle of Boigne, also known locally as the castle of Buisson-Rond, is a castle built in the 19th century, on older bases, which stands on the commune of Chambéry in the department of Savoie in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The castle of Boigne has been the subject of a partial inscription for historical monuments since 24 February 1982, under the name "Château de Buisson Rond".
