Château de Fallavier
Highlight • Castle
This strategic location was exploited during the war between the Savoy and the Dauphiné (1250-1355). A document dated from 1280 indicates the construction work to extend and fortify the castle.
The castle forms a real fortress consisting of two walls and a mighty keep. While more emphasis was placed on the defensive aspect, convenience was not left aside. There are a total of 3 rooms, a kitchen, a fountain, a large hall and a chapel. After France acquired the building (in the second half of the 14th century), the owners with honorable names changed several times.
The castle fell into disrepair before the 17th century. Century. It was not until 1969 that the owner, Mr. Mérard, made the decision to rebuild the castle and bring the site to life.
The castle has been owned by the municipality since 1992. St-Quentin-Fallavier strives to evaluate and discover one of the most important landmarks of the local cultural heritage.
