Château de la Trolanderie

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de la Trolanderie is located in the commune of Curis-au-Mont-d'Or, in the Lyon metropolis. The estate of Curis-au-Mont-d'Or, or domaine de la Trolanderie, straddles the two communes of Curis-au-Mont-d'Or and Poleymieux-au-Mont-d'Or, at the locality known as la Forêt. The estate of the château de Curis is sometimes called the "domaine de la trolanderie". Several etymological explanations have been put forward, including a semantic link to the "treuil" (winch) of the water mill. In any case, the term "trolanderie" has been attested since the 1920s; it is moreover used on postcards from the early twentieth century. The Ministry of Culture naturally used it from 1987 onwards, during the protection stages of the estate (registration), and it has been carried over into the Mérimée database since that date. It is therefore not a commercial term, misused by a property developer, as is sometimes wrongly stated in certain modern notices.
