En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Roussillon is a château de plaisance (a country pleasure residence), rebuilt in 1552 in the Renaissance style. It stands in the commune of Roussillon, in the Isère department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is the only Renaissance-style château in the department. Since 1872, and after many renovations, the château has housed the town hall of the commune. More recently, the Roussillon tourist office has also found a place on the ground floor of the west wing of the building. Today the whole château is open to visitors, and it is possible to see the Cardinal's apartments, located on the second floor of the château neuf.
The façades and roofs, the entire west wing, all the interiors of the second floor, and the openwork wall-newel staircase of the central block are classified as monuments historiques by order of 14 November 1997. The ground floor and first floor, except for the classified parts, are partially registered as monuments historiques by the same order of 14 November 1997.
