# Château de Clermont

Chirens, Isère, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Château de Clermont stands in Chirens (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 11th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set on an open hill above the Chirens valley, the ruins of Clermont castle gather around a pentagonal thirteenth-century keep, remnant of a stronghold founded in the eleventh century. Visitors come for the isolated silhouette of the tower, still ringed by two enclosures, and for the view stretching over the Ainan and Fure valleys as far as the Isère valley. The site tells the story of a powerful lordship of the Dauphiné, dismantled on royal order in the seventeenth century.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
