Château de Pennesuyt stands in Bourg-en-Bresse (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Bourg-en-Bresse, the château de Pennesuyt, also called château de Loëze, stands on the site of a 14th-century fortified house rebuilt in the following century. Its appearance is closer to a rural manor than to a fortress, and it remains the only surviving example in the Ain department of this kind of 17th-century classical residence. Should a visit be possible, attention centers on the façades, the roofs and the entrance hall staircase, the only elements under historic monument protection.
