Château de Loriol, Historical monument in Ain department, France.
The Loriol Castle features an L-shaped main building with round towers and a quadrangular keep topped with machicolations in Confrançon.
The castle received its final configuration in the mid-15th century, incorporating a keep and three towers authorized by Duke Louis of Savoy.
The architectural evolution from medieval to neo-gothic style in the 19th century reflects the changing preferences of French nobility.
The castle stands 2.5 kilometers northwest of Confrançon center, with access from departmental road 26 connecting Mézériat to Saint-Didier-d'Aussiat.
The property maintains original decorative coatings on the keep's facades that reproduce architectural elements from the 1740 modifications.
