A 17th-century chateau and its 39-hectare estate listed as a historic monument 30 minutes from Lyon. Built between 1608 and 1616 on a former castle motte acquired by Jean Sève, Lyon's Receiver General of Finances, and accessible via a drawbridge, the chateau's architecture is distinctive due to its perfect symmetry. It has three storeys, with cellars and attic space in the main central part of the building. This part is flanked on either side by two wings, each topped by a hipped roof with rolled eaves, and by two projecting corner towers topped by square-based convex arched roofs, also with rolled eaves. The north and south facades of the main building have large mullioned windows with small panes, with seven windows from the ground floor to the second floor. The slate, hipped roof of the main building features three pediment dormers to the north and south - one in the centre with an arched pediment and the others with a triangular pediment. On either side, the windows on the wings and towers are the same type and height as those on the main building. The roofs are different. Some of them need renovation - those above the towers and the central building. If the building’s shape seems is surprising and the size of the wings seems modest compared to that of the central body, it is because the body houses a very large former Calvinist temple on the second floor, illuminated by seven windows on each facade. It was one of the 'fief temples' that France tolerated on its territory after the Edict of Nantes, on condition that they remained discreet. Three dormer windows to the south and north, unique because of their unusual size and their Holy Trinity symbols, were and remain, the only external sign of this on the building. A moat surrounds the chateau and the outbuildings. The property is enhanced by outbuildings such as a caretaker's cottage and a farmhouse with a swimming pool in its walled square courtyard. Lastly, a fountain consisting of a basin adorned by three marmosets from the park at Vaux-le-Vicomte stands in the centre of a circular pool, beyond a large terraced flowerbed, in front of the chateau’s south facade.

The Château belongs to that category of residences that naturally commands respect. Founded as a Cistercian priory, then transformed into a noble residence, its walls retain the solemnity of a place shaped by prayer, patience, and the authority of time. Its stone silhouette dominates an estate where nature seems to watch over the building with age-old constancy. Now tastefully restored, the château is equally suited to family life and prestigious hospitality, thanks to its well-established bed and breakfast business. Close to the Pays de Gex and Geneva, it offers a rare experience: that of a habitable monument, where you can engage in conversation with nearly a millennium of history. The quiet authority of a thousand-year-old residence Inside, the Château reveals an architecture whose nobility lies as much in its proportions as in its memory. The thick walls, preserved vaults, ancient fireplaces, and spiral stone staircase combine to create a setting of singular dignity. The spacious and well-structured double living room overlooking the park is the centerpiece of the property, reflecting the tradition of houses where guests were received under the gaze of their ancestors, where the rooms had not only a function but also a meaning. The light, gliding over the antique woodwork and remarkable floors, creates a sense of contemplation. Here, the house does not seek to seduce, it asserts its presence. The rooms and suites extend this measured atmosphere, imbued with a certain aristocratic restraint. Each seems designed to preserve inner calm, as if centuries had taught the place to respect the sleep of its occupants. The carved doors, arched windows, and characterful fireplaces are reminiscent of the former monastic order, then the rigor of the families who shaped the residence. Contemporary comforts are integrated without excess, with a sobriety that leaves room for the architecture to shine. The spaces intended for welcoming tourists reinforce the idea of a place that has been passed down, not transformed, open to those who understand its significance. An estate that has stood the test of time The estate offers a landscape whose solemnity matches that of the château. The countryside forms a natural setting where the presence of the forest, century-old trees, and the old orchard give the site an almost liturgical dimension. The stone terrace extends like a tribune open to nature, while the swimming pool and spa blend in with a discretion worthy of a place where character always takes precedence over function. Here, everything invites contemplation: the lines of the land, the gentle slope, the succession of plant life, the clarity of the sky resting on the stone with measured gravity. The outbuildings are a rare asset for a large-scale project. The convertible attic space and the vast barn, spread over three levels, offer exceptional potential for a noble extension of the current use: reception areas, additional accommodation, a cultural or heritage venue. The old features, covered well, gravel courtyard, and restored surrounding walls reinforce the institutional dimension of the estate. Every step taken in these outdoor spaces reminds us that the château is not just a property, but a heritage entity. A coherent whole, where one can create without ever distorting its character. A region combining tradition, culture, and unspoiled nature The château is set in an environment whose identity is based on a rare combination: high-altitude nature, protective and structuring, and a strong cultural heritage. The Jura mountains, plateaus, forests, and valleys make up a territory whose attractions go far beyond the simple landscape. They form a living environment where you can find the depth of regional history, mountain traditions, and ancient know-how. The iconic sites of the Haut-Jura, the cultural trails, and the tourist initiatives are testament to a living environment that is deeply rooted yet forward-looking. The opening up to the Pays de Gex and Geneva gives the château a strategic dimension. It has an international dynamic, a major economic influence, and an attractiveness that reinforces its heritage value. This balance between seclusion and connection, between rural serenity and proximity to a center of global importance, gives the residence a value that goes beyond simple habitation. The Château becomes a place of study, creation, transmission, or hospitality, depending on the ambitions of its future owner. It is an estate that lends itself to demanding projects and dignifies those who take on the responsibility. The Agency's opinion: The Château represents a heritage piece of rare consistency. Its Cistercian origins, its stone architecture, its wooded grounds, and its potential for hospitality make it an exceptional property in the noblest sense of the term.
