Château Bouchet de Fareins

Château Bouchet de Fareins, 19th-century castle in Fareins, France.

Château Bouchet de Fareins is a 19th-century castle in the centre of Fareins, near the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church. Its long pale facade has three levels of tall rectangular windows with white frames, round windows on the upper storey of the central block, and a stone balustrade above a low central staircase. Two side pavilions with steeper roofs flank the central block, and a taller square tower rises behind it under a dark slate roof with dormers and chimneys.

Château Bouchet de Fareins was built in the 19th century on the site of an older bourgeois house. Albert Bouchet (1835–1915), a Lyon lawyer, mayor of Fareins and deputy for Ain, rebuilt it extensively and gave it his name. His descendants added the commune's name to their surname to distinguish themselves from the Bouchet branch at the nearby Château de Beauregard. The building survived three fires, the last on 2 November 1910.

Albert Bouchet, a Lyon lawyer and mayor of Fareins, gave the building his name; his descendants added "de Fareins" to their surname to distinguish themselves from the Bouchet branch at the nearby Château de Beauregard. The family kept the castle until 1954, when they sold it to the City of Paris.

The château stands in the centre of Fareins, next to the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church. The town bought the building and its 5.5-hectare park in early 2011 and is still deciding on a new use, so the grounds are not a managed visitor site. The building is used only for occasional events, such as the school festival in 2013.

The château has burned three times, most recently on 2 November 1910. The 5.5-hectare park around it holds close to 180 tree species. The town of Fareins bought the building and its grounds in early 2011.
