Château de La Carelle

Château de La Carelle is a castle in Deux-Grosnes with a square main building topped by four corner pavilions and a round tower that extends toward the southwest, where it connects to additional farm buildings. The property occupies a valley location where the La Carelle stream flows naturally through the grounds.

The estate has medieval origins and passed through several noble families starting with the House of Beaujeu before coming under the control of the Nagu family in the 15th century. A major fire in the 17th century disrupted the succession and eventually led to the La Roche family establishing ownership of the property.

The château maintains agricultural traditions of the region, producing local goods that reflect the heritage of the Beaujolais territory.

The castle sits in a valley setting that makes it accessible from surrounding farmland and neighboring villages. The proximity to water and local terrain creates pleasant conditions for walking and exploring the wider countryside.

A devastating fire in 1639 led to numerous ownership changes, with the La Roche family acquiring the property through legal proceedings in 1719.
