Canton of Geneva

Heritage Sites

This collection features architectural landmarks across the Geneva basin and neighboring French departments. Highlights include the 1909 Reformation Wall and the Old Arsenal’s mosaic-adorned archives. The selection spans medieval history with the ruins of Rouelbeau Castle and the Order of Malta’s Compesières Commandry, alongside Enlightenment-era sites like the Racle and Loes houses in Ferney-Voltaire. These sites preserve the region's evolution from military strongholds to stately manor houses and religious centers.
