In Dagneux, in the Ain department, Chiloup castle still carries traces of its medieval origins beneath the look of a large bourgeois residence. Construction is thought to date back to 1330, commissioned by Guichard de Chiloup, before the property passed to the Decrues de Sainte-Croix family and later the Montherot family. Now owned by the Dagneux town council, the site hosts military ceremonies linked to the La Valbonne camp as well as evenings during the Contes en Côtière festival.
