Château de Bouligneux, Medieval castle in Bouligneux, France.
The castle features four round towers connected by curtain walls, with a quadrangular brick enclosure forming its main structure point.
Built in the early 14th century, the castle served as the center of the Lordship of Bouligneux under the La Palu family's control.
The castle received official recognition as a French historical monument in November 1926, preserving its architectural heritage for future generations.
Located 37 kilometers from Lyon and 30 kilometers from Bourg-en-Bresse, with the nearest train station situated in Villars-les-Dombes.
The castle remained in the La Palu family's possession for 400 years and survived the French Revolution by functioning as a municipal grain storage.
