Château de Sainte-Julie

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Sainte-Julie is a former 13th-century fortified house (maison forte), built by the lords of Coligny (possibly Amédée de Coligny) on their estate of Sainte-Julie, in the Ain. Through the marriage of Béatrix de Coligny it passed to the La Tour du Pin family, then to Count Amadeus V of Savoy, to Guy de Torchefelon, to Jean de Crangeac (around 1390) and his descendants, to the Varax family, to Philip II, Count of Bresse (1460), to Jacques of Savoy, Duke of Genevois and Nemours, to Georges de Lyobard, to René de Varanges, to the André Balme family, and was then bought by Jean-Marie Dupuis in 1824. All the façades and roofs, as well as the great hall and the first-floor oratory with their armorial wall paintings, have been registered as historic monuments by decree of 21 December 1984 (reference PA00116556).
