Château des Quinsonnas

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château des Quinsonnas, the oldest castle in the commune, stands in Chanay, in the Ain department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The building has a square plan and encloses a courtyard protected by a square keep and a round tower. Owned by the commune in the 19th century until 1916, it was used by the Belgian government during the First World War to house a sanatorium, then converted after the war into an upscale hotel-restaurant. It was later acquired by the Mutuelle générale de l'Éducation nationale, which still runs a medical centre there.
