Château de Juis stands in Savigneux (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 10th century, 14th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Located in the commune of Savigneux, in the Ain department, the château de Juis preserves the remains of a fortress built in red brick in the 14th century, once the seat of a lordship first recorded in the 10th century. Visitors can still make out a quadrangular enclosure with a corner turret shaped like a pepper-pot, and a narrow inner courtyard flanked by residential wings. The estate passed through the hands of the Groslée, Balsac and Urfé families, among others, before changing owners repeatedly through sales and exchanges until the 18th century.
