Château de Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne, Medieval castle ruins in Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne, France.
The castle site contains an enclosure with an entrance gateway and foundations of four remaining towers set against the French countryside landscape.
Constructed around 1000 by the Lords of Châtillon, the castle changed hands to the Counts of Savoy in 1272 before its destruction in 1600.
The castle grounds host summer events featuring historical performances that showcase medieval traditions and regional heritage for visitors.
Visitors can explore the castle ruins through a dedicated pedestrian path that circles the ancient fortress and provides access to all viewpoints.
The castle was the birthplace of Saint Étienne de Châtillon in 1155, who later became a Carthusian monk and Bishop of Die.
