The Château de Cusy , is an old fortified castle, whose origin dates back to XI It is century, which stood in the town of Cusy, today in the department of Haute-Savoie, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in France.

The castle and the fortified town of Cusy rose on the old Roman clod. The castle is located on the limits of the Geneva and Savoyard principalities, giving it a strategic role and therefore disputed [ 2 ] . The castle, just like the castles of Alby and Gruffy, monitors the road from Annecy or Aix, which notably allows access to the Châtelard and the Bauges Massif.

In 1022, the parish of Cusy was mentioned for the first time in a charter [ 2 ] , as falling under the county of Geneva. It is a possession of Count Humbert, who donates to the bishop of Langres, under certain conditions, of the Church [ 3 ] . The first mention of a castle dates back to 1263 [ 2 ] . It seems that from the XII It is century, the castle is a younger family of Grésy, a younger branch of the Faucigny family [ 2 ] . In 1262, Count Raoul de Genève paid homage to Count Boniface de Savoie for his castles of Cusy and Charousse [ 2 ] . That same year Raoul/Rodolphe III of Grésy became a corp man of the Count of Geneva [ 2 ] . He would then have gone to his brother, Guillaume, who pays tribute to the Châtellenie at the Count of Geneva and the Count of Savoy, in 1273 [ 2 ] . He would have given him later in dowry to Béatrix, his daughter, during his union with Guy de Seyssel. The couple, without heir, the castle passes to the house of Savoie.

In 1287, when peace was signed in Annemasse between the Count of Savoy and the Count of Geneva, Cusy no longer appeared in the possessions of the latter [ 2 ] . The following year, Count Amédée V of Savoy grants a franchise charter in Cusy [ 2 ] .

In 1372, he was given in fief to Rodolphe IV of Grésy, then returned again to the Maison de Savoie before going to the Montmayeur family. In 1432, it was the property of Jacques II de Montmayeur, marshal of Savoie. He will be raised as a count in 1447. When he died in 1487, the castle passed in different hands before falling to Sébastien de Luxembourg. The latter sells him to the brothers Emmanuel-Philibert and Louis de Pingon the Against a sum of 3,500 gold ECU. The castle is given to them in fief the And they will see their land raised as barony.

At the end of XVII It is century there live there Jacques Sylvestre, died in 1691, and Claude Eugène de Pingon, son of Aimé de Pingon and Suzanne de Montmayeur.

In 1771, he was in the hands of the Freney senator. Under the Revolution, the castle is looted and then burnt down. It will never be noted and served as a stone career.

Cusy castle is the seat of a small châtellenie, also says mandate ( command ), belonging to the bailiwick of Savoie [ 4 ] . It is a châtellenie having noted counts of Geneva and Savoy, depending on the period, then definitively from 1287 in the county of Savoie [ 5 ] . In the organization of the county of Savoy, it belongs to the bailiwick of Savoie [ 6 ] .

The squire is a “[Officer], named for a defined, revocable and removable period” [ 7 ] , [ 8 ] . He is responsible for the management of the Châtellenie, he receives the tax revenues of the domain, and he takes care of the maintenance of the castle [ 9 ] . The squire is sometimes helped by an account receiver, who writes “to the net […] the report annually rendered by the squire or his lieutenant” [ ten ] .
