To make a day of it

Château de Meillonnas stands in Meillonnas (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 18th century, 19th century, 14th century). No visits are on record for this building.

In Meillonnas, in the Ain department, stands the former fortified castle of the local seigneury, built from 1350 onwards by Humbert de Corgenon. Three towers, sections of wall and Renaissance-era buildings remain, along with 15th and 16th century wall paintings in the north tower. The site later housed a faience manufactory that brought the village some renown. The castle is not open to the general public.
