Château de Vanans

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Vanans is located in the commune of Saint-Didier-sur-Chalaronne, in the Ain department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The present building, dating from the 19th century, is a rectangular structure with a hipped roof, flanked by two set-back towers, with two circular turrets in the centre topped by pepper-pot roofs. The structure has two storeys with a central window under a triangular pediment, and rectangular corner towers adorned with a quatrefoil opening on the upper floor. The building is surrounded by a wooded park of century-old trees and crossed by a brook, the Merdelon. It first belonged to the Souvigny family, then was acquired in the early 20th century by the Billioud-Rimaud family.
