The château de Chanoz-Châtenay, in the Ain department, stands on the site of a medieval fortified house rebuilt in the 15th century and altered in the 19th. Once the seat of the Châtenay lordship, it retains an inner courtyard lined with buildings flanked by two corner towers, one of them dating from the 15th century and set against the main residential block. The site reflects the succession of several noble families who held it from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.
