Le Lycée Anna de Noailles, ancien château du Martelay. Le château du Martelay, construit en 1890 par un particulier, avec quatre tours d’angle, n'est ni médiéval, ni Belle-Époque, mais plutôt néo-gothique ; il fait partie, depuis 1964, du lycée Anna de Noailles. Contrairement à la légende, ce château n'aurait jamais appartenu à Anna de Noailles qui en aurait fait don à la ville pour l'éducation des enfants. Un article du Matin de Paris du mercredi 17 mai 1944 en attribue la propriété à un anglais "prétendant de la couronne de France". Sous la plume de l'envoyé spécial du Matin à Evian, André du Bief : "EVIAN, mai. Cette vaste bâtisse de pierre grise aux quatre rondes tours d'angle, face au Leman paisible et aux lointains ensoleillés sur l'autre-rive de la pacifique Lausanne, c'est le château le Martelay où, m'avait-on dit, j'allais trouver M. John Freeman, sujet britannique, dont les prétentions à la couronne de France font quelque bruit. Hélas c'est en 1932 que M.Freeman quitta cette agréable demeure, l'ayant vendue, et il est présentement en Amérique, m'assure-t-on." C'est le maire Camille Blanc qui obtiendra la création d'un lycée mixte dans le site du château du Martelay au bord du lac. Le maire assassiné par l'OAS n'en verra pas la réalisation. Le lycée sera terminé en 1964 par son successeur Jean Combet. High School Anna de Noailles, a former castle Martelay. The castle Martelay, built in 1890 by one particular with four corner towers, is neither medieval nor Belle Epoque, but neo-Gothic and is part, since 1964, the school Anna de Noailles. Contrary to legend, the castle had never belonged to Anna de Noailles, who had donated them to the city for the education of children. An article in the Matin de Paris on Wednesday, May 17, 1944 in grants ownership to an English "claiming the crown of France." Under the pen of the Special Envoy of Matin de Paris in Evian, André du Bief: "EVIAN, May This large gray stone building with four round corner towers, facing the peaceful Leman and sunny on the other side of the peaceful-Lausanne far is the castle Martelay where I had they say, I would find Mr. John Freeman, a British subject, whose pretensions to the crown of France make some noise. Alas it was in 1932 that left M.Freeman this charming house, having sold, and is currently in America, assures me one. " The mayor Camille Blanc who gets the creation of a mixed school in the castle site Martelay of the lake. The mayor assassinated by the OAS will not see completion.
