Château de Vaulserre, 17th century castle in Saint-Albin-de-Vaulserre, France.
Vaulserre Castle is a 17th-century fortress in Saint-Albin-de-Vaulserre featuring a rectangular layout with a central door in Louis XV style, topped by a triangular pediment decorated with a family coat of arms. The interior contains rooms with painted walls and wood-paneled surfaces throughout.
The property was originally a fortified house called Clermont before being purchased by Jacques de Corbeau in 1567. Its transformation into the present castle form took place during the 17th century.
The castle displays French decorative traditions through its double-flight staircase adorned with wall paintings and a wood-paneled dining room. These spaces reflect the craftsmanship that defined aristocratic interiors of the period.
Visits are available only by reservation for groups of at least 20 people, with special rates during Heritage Days events. Since individual visitors cannot access the property, advance planning and booking are necessary.
Behind the castle lies an English garden with views toward the Jura Bugey and Chartreuse mountain ranges, featuring a reflecting pool surrounded by statues. This garden space offers a quiet vantage point over the surrounding landscape.
