Château de la Barollière, Medieval castle in Limonest, France
The castle features a rectangular main building with four square towers and pavilion roofs, plus an additional tower in the inner courtyard.
The property changed ownership in 1750 when Alphonse Henri Charles Pilotte sold it to the Maritz family, who added decorative elements.
The state rooms underwent renovations between 1770 and 1780, receiving trompe-l'œil paintings, moldings, and detailed woodwork throughout the interior.
Located in the Rhône department at 69760 Limonest, this privately-owned castle requires advance arrangements for any potential visits.
The wrought iron railings and balconies display the letter M, marking the ownership of the Maritz family during the 1760s renovations.
