The garderobes (toilets) at La Bâtiaz played a part in determining that the architect for the UNESCO listed castles in Wales came from Savoy before working in Wales. Historian and custodian A. J.

The discovery enabled Taylor to confirm that James of Saint George had been the architect of both.^[2]
