Tips from the Community
The estate has its roots in an ancient fortified house built in the second half of the 13th century. It notably served as a summer residence for the lords of Tullins. The building was extensively remodeled in the 16th century, then in the 18th century (when it took the name Château des Cordes), before its facade was modified in the 19th century. The castle has been protected as a historical monument since 1977 (partial inscription, and classification for its south tower).
