It was purchased by the town, reestablished and changed into a historical center, le musee-manor d'Annecy.

It filled in as the living arrangement of the Counts of Geneva and the Dukes of Genevois-Nemours.

A few times the casualty of flames, the chateau was relinquished in the seventeenth century and later repaired to fill in as a garisson huts until 1947. The town of Annecy procured the chateau in 1953, reestablished it with the assistance of Monuments historiques and introduced a historical center there. The Tour de la Reine is the most established piece of the palace, dating from the twelfth century. Its dividers are more than 4 m thick. At the base of the patio, the pinnacle and the Logis Perriere date from the fifteenth century.
