Château de Chazey-sur-Ain stands in Chazey-sur-Ain (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 15th century, fourth quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Standing on the high ground overlooking the village of Chazey-sur-Ain, this 12th-century fortified castle carries eight centuries of history, from the lords of Coligny to the House of Savoy. Torn down on the order of Marshal de Biron at the end of the 16th century, only parts of the keep and its walls remained standing until a Lyon banker had it restored at the end of the 19th century. Visitors today can see a keep containing several state rooms, including an ancestors' hall and a room known as the King's Chamber.
