Château de Laye stands in Arnas (Rhône), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. No visits are on record for this building.

Château de Laye, built around 1760 by the d'Epinay family, is an 18th-century architectural complex located in Saint-Georges-de-Reneins. Beyond the main building, the estate preserves its chapel, outbuildings, wrought-iron gates, and a landscaped park designed in 1854. The interior features a gilded drawing room with period decoration, as well as a dining room and east salon. Two pavilions known as the Tournelles and the west courtyard with its ornamental ironwork gateways complete this remarkably intact ensemble.

What to know

The château and its outbuildings benefit from dual monument historique protection: the first designation in 1974 covers facades, roofs and interior staircase, while the second in 1996 extends to the park, farm buildings and their decoration.
The estate spans two communes, Saint-Georges-de-Reneins and Arnas.
The landscaped park, created in the 19th century, remains an integral part of the protected property alongside the château and chapel.
