# Château de La Bruyère

Saint-Bernard, Ain, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Château de La Bruyère stands in Saint-Bernard (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Saint-Bernard, in the Ain department, the château de La Bruyère stands on the site of a Benedictine priory founded in the 9th century. The present house, converted into a gentleman's residence after being sold in 1752, still holds earlier remains: a 15th-16th century prior's lodging, fragments of the former church, and the west gallery of the 12th-century Romanesque cloister. The interest lies in this layering of an 18th-century house over a much older monastic site.

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