Château de Chenavel stands in Jujurieux (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set on a plateau above the Ain river, on the outskirts of Jujurieux, the château de Chenavel stands on the site of a 14th century stronghold that was reworked over the centuries. Across the valley it faces the château de Thol. The building survived both regional wars and the Revolution without being destroyed, an unusual fate for a fortress of its age. Its present appearance still bears the marks of successive rebuildings carried out between the 16th and 19th centuries.

What to know

The château stands about 2.5 kilometres northwest of the village of Jujurieux, on an isolated plateau.
No verified information is available regarding opening hours, admission fees or visiting conditions.
The building served as a rest home for workers of a local silk factory until the early 20th century, before being put to associative use.
Reaching it means travelling outside the village centre, by car or on foot, to a rural setting.
