Château Delphinal, Medieval castle in Crémieu, France

The Château Delphinal stands on Saint-Laurent hill, featuring a round tower with merlons and a west facade modified in the twentieth century.

First mentioned in 1222, the castle served as the seat of mandement at the gates of the Dauphiné and underwent reconstruction by the Dauphins de La Tour from 1282.

The castle structure includes a chapel with its bell wall and a thirteenth-century trilobed twin window built directly into the rock face.

Located at 8 Montée Saint-Laurent in Crémieu, the castle requires visitors to verify current accessibility and opening hours before planning their visit.

The ruins of this fortress were used as a quarry by the Visitandines in 1644, while the chapel received restoration work in 1633.
