Château de Vaulserre

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Vaulserre stands on the northern edge of the village of Saint-Albin-de-Vaulserre, in the Guiers area of Isère. Originally, the seigneury was based at Voissant; during the Wars of Religion, its seat was moved to Saint-Albin, to the former fortified house known as the Clermont house. In 1567 this house passed to the Corbeau family through the marriage of Humbert de Corbeau and Claudine de Clermont, and the same family kept it for nearly four centuries. Remodelled in the 18th century, the residence has regular façades and painted interiors, which have earned it the nickname ‘château des couleurs’ (the château of colours). Its garden, which became romantic in the 19th century, served as a setting for the film ‘Le Hussard sur le toit’. The estate is open to visitors.
