Château de Crolles stands in Crolles (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing in Crolles, in the Isère region, this former fortified house dates back to the 14th century and was reshaped over several later periods. Still owned by the de Bernis family since the early 19th century, it keeps its two round towers, a gallery decorated with 17th-century paintings and a chapel showing Christ and the Evangelists. Both King Henri IV and King Louis XIII, the latter travelling with Cardinal Richelieu, are recorded as having visited the estate.
