Château de Châtenay

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Châtenay is a former fortified house (maison forte) dating from the 11th century, rebuilt in the 15th century and altered in the 19th century, located in Chanoz-Châtenay in the Ain department. Originally owned by the Châtenay family, who had held it from the Count of Savoy since 1274, the seigneury passed through several owners before coming to the Garron family in the 16th century. The façades and roofs of the buildings surrounding the inner courtyard to the east, with their two corner towers, a 15th-century tower and a north-west retaining wall, have been registered as historic monuments by order of 18 February 1987.
