Château de Thol, Medieval castle in Neuville-sur-Ain, France.
The ruins of Château de Thol stand on a hilltop at 305 meters elevation, featuring two square towers at the northwest and southwest corners of the structure.
First mentioned in the 14th century, the castle was granted in 1330 by the Count of Savoy to Barthélemy de la Balme before changing ownership through noble families.
The registered historical monument demonstrates medieval military architecture with a quadrangular layout of 32 meters per side surrounded by dry moats.
Restoration and consolidation work continues until 2027, including archaeological interventions to preserve this historical structure for future generations.
Recent studies employ drone imagery and laser measurements to create detailed 3D models of the castle, enabling precise evaluation of its condition.
