Château de Dortan

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Dortan is a 15th–16th-century manor house, remodelled in the 18th century and restored in the 19th century, seat of the seigneury of Dortan, which stands in the commune of Dortan in the Ain department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It succeeded a former stronghold probably built in the 12th century. Because of its position, the château suffered numerous attacks, including one by Richelieu's troops in 1637. The château, including its underground sections, the western esplanade and the terraced garden to the south, the park and its enclosing wall, the outbuilding and the pump mill, is listed as a historic monument by decree of 12 December 1997.
