Château de Saint-Jean-de-Chépy

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Saint-Jean-de-Chépy is located in Tullins, a commune in the Isère department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is a former fortified house built during the second half of the 13th century and occupied by the de Bressieux family in the 14th century. Substantially remodelled for the first time during the 16th century, the fortified house took the name Château des Cordes during the 18th century, before adopting its current name. Its façade was remodelled in the 19th century and then completely restored in 2000, on the initiative of a private owner, to become a venue for private events and corporate seminars, as well as themed evenings such as wedding ceremonies. Historically, the building served as a summer residence for the lords of Tullins, and the estate belonged to the families de Lans and de Bressieu de Cordoue from 1435 to 1827. The château was partially listed on the Inventaire des monuments historiques on 28 March 1977, and its south tower was classified on the same inventory on the same date. Art exhibitions, generally centred on sculpture, are held on the estate.
