Château de la Trolanderie

Château de la Trolanderie is a castle featuring a pentagonal main building with three circular towers near Lyon, France. The property includes a chapel, an orangery building, and various outbuildings distributed across landscaped grounds.

The castle was founded in 1270 and underwent major reworking under architect Jean-Antoine Morand in 1769. Further changes followed between 1885 and 1890, when the building took on its present appearance.

The interior preserves original elements including Versailles-style parquet floors, nineteenth-century fireplaces, and pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows.

The property spans two municipalities in the Lyon area and was converted into residential apartments during the 1980s. Visitors should note that this is now a private residential building with limited public access.

The castle features a hydraulic network system designed by architect Curieux and commissioned by Count Jean-Baptiste de Chazelles in the 19th century. This technical system has survived remarkably intact and shows innovations from that era.
