Château du Tourvéon, 18th century castle in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or, France.

The Château du Tourvéon stands on a hillside with a classical architectural design and features a park created by landscape architect Luizet.

The Murard family acquired the estate in the 18th century and demolished the original structure to build the current château in 1854.

The château represents the architectural transition from medieval fortresses to classical French residences of the 19th century nobility.

Located 9 kilometers from Lyon, the château has been converted into residential apartments following its renovation in 2003.

Marshal Pétain stayed at the château on June 5th, 1944, after visiting injured soldiers at L'Hôpital Grange Blanche in Lyon.
