Château de Pommier

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Pommier, in Saint-Martin-du-Mont in the Ain department, was built in the 13th century, probably by Guy de Sales, its first known owner, and was regularly altered from the 14th to the 18th century. It retains a medieval keep and a 14th-century rib-vaulted chapel, possibly built on the site of a former oppidum. Owned by the de Sales family until 1548, then by the Grillet family, it passed in 1692 to Joseph Marie de Moyria, then to the de Conzié family in the 18th century, then to the Comte de Loras, before being acquired in 1848 by Sylvain de La Forest Divonne. The film "Confession of a Child of the Century" (Confession d'un enfant du siècle) was partly shot there in 2011.
