Château d'Anglefort stands in Anglefort (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Anglefort, in the Ain department, this 18th-century château replaced an earlier fortress of which only a few traces remain. Rebuilt around 1741 for the de la Porte family, it stands on a site that once overlooked the route between Seyssel and Belley. Its interior staircase and stairwell, listed as a historic monument, are the most notable feature of the building.
