Château de Laye, Historical castle in Saint-Georges-de-Reneins, France.

The square structure of Château de Laye features decorated pediments on its facades and a grand double-revolution stone staircase entrance.

The Épinay family commissioned the construction of the château around 1760, incorporating vaulted rooms from the medieval fortress into the new building.

The gilded reception room, dining hall, and additional salons display the architectural elements characteristic of 18th-century French nobility.

The private estate spans 54 acres, encompassing a park with a water feature, an island, plane trees, and a vegetable garden.

A chapel built with Beaujolais ochre stone stands within the estate grounds, supported by twelve buttresses.
