Château de Musinens

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Musinens is a castle whose foundations date back to the 12th century, with an imposing square keep built in the 13th century. It is located in the commune of Valserhône (Bellegarde-sur-Valserine), in the Ain department. A fief of the Musinens family, it later passed to the Châtillon family and then to the Bouvens family. A Renaissance wing pierced with mullioned windows was added later. Owned by Swiss proprietors in the 20th century, it was bought by the commune in the 1970s, which hosts exhibitions, concerts and tours there.
