The construction of current
Château de Mont goes back to the end of 15th century or beginning of
16th. In 1517, it definitively became the residence of the barons of
Mont-le-Grand. With the conquest of the Berneses in 1536, François de
Bellegarde, the third husband of Claude de Saint-Triviers, was
recognized lord of Mont-le-Grand by the occupant. Acquired in 1553 by
the Steiger family, last dynasty of the lords of Mont, the seignory
remained in hands of this family until the Revolution. At that time, the
field was sold to Joseph Bouër, a financier, member of the Council of
Geneva, and originating from France. His wife accommodated many Genevese
peoples when their city was threatened by the French army, which
involved a very animated life in Château de Mont. |
