Château d'Avauges, Historical castle in Saint-Romain-de-Popey, France.

The castle combines medieval architecture in its western wing with eighteenth-century modifications on the northern facade, displaying multiple construction periods.

The Albon family acquired the estate in 1555 and initiated the construction of a new residence at the end of the sixteenth century.

The Saint-Camille chapel, consecrated in 1730, maintains its Empire style decorations while the dining room features neo-Rocaille woodwork.

Located at 2623 route d'Avauges, the castle opens its grounds to visitors during Heritage Days for guided exterior tours.

The park, designed in 1880 by Édouard André, incorporated an advanced canal and lock system to supply water from the Turdine River.
