Château de Pommier stands in Saint-Martin-du-Mont (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
The château de Pommier, in Saint-Martin-du-Mont in the Ain department, traces its medieval origins to the 13th century, with alterations continuing through the 18th century. The keep and a vaulted chapel with ribbed vaulting from the 14th century still bear witness to this early period, possibly built atop an earlier hillfort. The estate passed through several noble families, from the Sales to the Grillet and then the Conzié, before being acquired by the La Forest Divonne family in the mid 19th century. The site served as a filming location for part of the movie Confession d'un enfant du siècle.
