Origin and history
Chateauneuf Hotel is a former mansion located in the historic centre of Chambéry, Savoie. Built at the end of the 17th century, it illustrates the civil architectural style of this period and was inscribed as historical monuments on September 17, 1943. Its location, at 22 rue Croix d'Or, near the Cathedral of Saint-François-de-Sales, makes it an important part of the Chamberian heritage.
This private hotel was built by Jacques-Louis Castagnery, Baron de Châteauneuf and senator at the Savoie Senate, thanks to the family fortune resulting from the exploitation of the Hurtières iron mines and the forges of Argentina in Maurienne. The wrought iron grids adorning the building recall this industrial activity, typical of the region.
The building, with its wings, its courtyard on the cathedral side, as well as specific elements such as the entrance door, facades, roofs, and side stairs, are protected by the 1943 classification. These architectural and decorative details reflect both the prestige of its sponsors and the local know-how of the time.
