Château de Varax

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Varax is a former fortified castle of the 14th–15th centuries, ruined at the end of the 16th century and remodelled since, standing in the commune of Saint-Paul-de-Varax in the Ain department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Adjoining the château, a castle motte survives together with a bailey from the mid-13th century. It is the centre of the seigneury of Varax, later raised to a county. The château has been partially registered (inscrit) as a historic monument by decree of 29 September 1981. Only the façades and roofs of the château, with the exception of the west façade of the building with four modern openings, and the outbuildings are registered.
