Weekly commented photo #18 - Arcine castle on the Vuache mountain

This very little castle was probably built in the 12th century.

I've heard of it many times since we came back to live in Haute Savoie and i wanted some images for my stock. That's why i came to Arcine for the first time.

As you can imagine, i was a little disapointed when i saw the castle for the first time. I was expecting something a bit more spectacular.
I turned around during a moment but the best point of you i found this day was this one. It's a bit far from the monument but it shows the most interesting walls and it was going well with the light of this end of afternoon. It also shows how the castle hangs on the slope of the Vuache mountain.
