The Château

Humbert IV de Thoire et Villars founded the Château de Coppet around 1280. Over the centuries, it evolved from a medieval fortress to a classical building. The Bernese attacked and burned it in 1536. In 1657, Frédéric de Dohna acquired it, then his son Alexandre transformed it into a U-shaped structure. Jean-Jacques Hogguer, a Geneva banker, made further modifications. In 1784, Jacques Necker, a Geneva banker and former minister of Louis XVI, bought it to make it his summer residence. He restored it and was buried there in 1793-1794. Auguste de Staël, his grandson, created an English-style park and a library in 1819. Mathilde d'Haussonville arranged a troubadour chapel in 1880. Since Necker, the château has remained in the same family, from Germaine de Staël to the d'Haussonville family. They ensure its preservation and memory, sparking the interest of visitors.
