Château de Hautefort, Medieval castle in Saint-Nicolas-de-Macherin, France.
The stone castle stands on a hilltop location, featuring a combination of medieval structural elements and classical architectural modifications made across centuries.
The House of Clermont constructed the initial fortress during the 11th century, monitoring the route from Voiron to Merlas and Saint-Geoire.
The castle chapel received authorization from Pope Leo XIII for religious services during the ownership of Marie Léon Jules de Morand de Jouffrey.
The castle structure has been converted into multiple private residential apartments since 1982, marking a shift from its previous role as a vacation colony.
The property experienced industrial development in the mid-19th century with the addition of silk manufacturing facilities, reflecting regional economic changes.
