Château de Trévoux

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Trévoux is a former fortified castle from the late 13th or early 14th century, remodelled in the 1360s, abandoned in 1563 and then restored in the 1990s; its remains stand in the commune of Trévoux in the Ain department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The castle was the centre of the seigneury of Trévoux and the seat of a castellany of the Principality of Dombes. The remains of the castle have been listed (classé) as a historic monument by decree of 13 June 1913. Built in two main campaigns in the 14th century, it was abandoned two centuries later without having undergone any significant alteration: it is therefore an exceptional example of late medieval seigneurial architecture.
