Maison forte de l'Izérable, Fortified house in Morancé, France.
The fortified house features a circular tower on its northeastern corner and contains mullioned windows in the southwestern living quarters.
In February 1262, Chalenda de l'Izérable pledged allegiance to the Abbot of Ainay, marking the first documented ownership of the estate.
The property changed ownership through several noble families, including the Dugué family who also owned Chateau de Bagnols in the 17th century.
The medieval fortress stands 1.5 kilometers east of Morancé village center in the Rhône department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
The original 13th-century entrance bridge spanning the moat remains intact, while the buildings form a quadrilateral enclosing a farmyard.
