Château de Peyrieu

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Peyrieu dates from the 15th century and was built during the period of territorial expansion of the Dukes of Savoy, who granted it to Pierre de Touvière, the first lord of Peyrieu, as a reward for services rendered to the House of Savoy. Built in the Flamboyant Gothic style, with tall slate-roofed towers, it also features Renaissance elements. The estate passed to M. Chanteau in 1870 (park redesigned in 1872, restoration between 1880 and 1901), and was then acquired in 1909 by Grace Whitney Hoff, who took in the wounded and later war widows there during the First World War. The estate was sold in 1949 to the association L'Adapt, which has since used it for the training and integration of people with disabilities.
