Château d'Irigny, Medieval castle in Irigny, France.
The castle features two prominent towers connected by residential structures, with traces of ancient defensive architecture including a former moat location.
The construction of Château d'Irigny started between 1193 and 1226 under Renaud de Forez, Archbishop of Lyon, marking its establishment in the region.
The castle displays the Croppet family coat of arms, decorated with gold and three blue cinquefoils, representing their historical ownership of the property.
The castle now functions as the municipal library of Irigny, located at 8 Place de l'Église, making literature accessible to local residents.
The castle underwent partial destruction in the 14th century by a group called the Tard-Venus, yet maintained sufficient structure to remain standing.
