Feuillasse Castle (Meyrin)
Near Cointrin Airport stands the old castle, built in 1489 by Claudius de Vivy. At the beginning of the 18th century, it was still the residence of the Genevan Trembley family.
In 1905, it was rebuilt after the castle had been used as a retirement home (Société de l'oeuvre des Vieillards incurables français). Today it houses an accommodation center for refugees.
