Château d'Herbeys, Renaissance castle in Herbeys, France.
The Château d'Herbeys is a Renaissance-style castle with a square tower topped by a four-sided slate dome. A stone balcony runs along its main facade, giving it a distinctive appearance.
The original structure was built in 1310 as a hunting lodge called the Tour Carrée and was purchased in 1393 by Bishop Aymm I de Chissé. This acquisition led to its transformation into a more refined residence over subsequent centuries.
The Italian-style salon called the Dome and the dining room showcase architectural details that reflect the refined tastes of past inhabitants. These rooms remain the most distinctive spaces within the castle today.
The castle has been privately owned since 1998 and is not open for interior visits, but it remains visible from the departmental road. Visitors can view its distinctive exterior and dome from the roadside without needing to enter the grounds.
Between the two world wars the castle hosted elegant balls for Grenoble's wealthy families, and it served as a hospital during World War I. This varied history shows how the place shifted roles based on the needs of the time.
