Château du Petit Perron, Renaissance castle in Pierre-Bénite, Lyon Metropolitan Area, France
The Château du Petit Perron consists of three buildings arranged in a U-shape around a central courtyard, featuring galleries with arcades on three levels.
Built between 1530 and 1574 by merchant Jean Camus, the castle evolved from an earlier structure mentioned in documents dating back to 1187.
The interior decorations, painted between 1577 and 1581, demonstrate the architectural preferences of wealthy merchants during the French Renaissance period.
The castle, designated as a historical monument since 2006, opens its doors to visitors during special events through advance reservation.
The property includes eastern and southern gardens with 16th-century fortification remains and terraces overlooking the surrounding landscape.
