Château de Loyes

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Loyes is an 18th-century château built by Gabriel Dervieu de Villieu, Baron of Loyes, and later altered for the Baboin family. It stands in the commune of Villieu-Loyes-Mollon in the Ain department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It succeeded an earlier castle built on an 11th-century castle motte, and then a fortified house known as the Château de la Pie, which was the seat of the seigneury of Loyes; only the motte survives. The façades and roofs of the château, its outbuildings and the chapel located outside; the enclosure wall and the neo-Gothic gateway, the formal garden, the park, the castle motte, the belvedere bridge, the kitchen garden with its enclosure; and the parcels of the estate were registered as monuments historiques by order of 28 March 2008.
