En un regard
Le château en bref
The Tour du Treuil, or Château Ferrier, is a former 12th-century fortified castle whose remains stand on the Brame-Farine mountain, one kilometre north-west of the town of Allevard, in Isère, on the left bank of the Bréda. A dendrochronological analysis carried out in 1994 dated the felling of the roof timbers and ceilings to 1375. Mentioned in 1282 in a deed of partition between Félix and Marc de Crouy, it belonged to the Crouy-Chanel family. In 1316, the dauphin Jean II of Viennois enfeoffed part of it to "noble Pierre Barral" of Allevard, in exchange for 800 livres and an annual cens of 5 sols. The fief was held of the château de la Bâtie d'Arvillard.
