The Château de Dolomieu, also known as the Château de Buffières, stands near the village of Dolomieu, in the Isère department, within a twenty-hectare estate. Built in the 17th century by the Gratet de Dolomieu family, whose best-known member, the geologist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu, gave his name to the Dolomites, it consists of an L-shaped main building rising over three storeys. Notable features include the east-facing façade, with its central projecting section topped by a carved pediment bearing the combined arms of the Gratet de Dolomieu and Bérenger-Sassenage families, alongside the stables and a chapel added in the 19th century.
