En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Crémieu, also known as Château Saint-Laurent or Château Delphinal, stands on the Saint-Laurent hill in the commune of Crémieu, in the Isère department. A first castle was built on the site in the 12th century, then rebuilt from 1282 by the Barons de La Tour, who became Dauphins of Viennois. Its surviving remains include a round tower with merlons, the walls of the south and west façades, and an adjoining chapel with its wall-mounted bell tower. The whole complex underwent partial restoration in the 1930s. Listed as a Monument Historique by order of 14 April 1943, the castle is privately owned and is not open to visitors, but a small balcony-like terrace remains accessible to walkers, offering a view over the town and the Saint-Hippolyte hill.
