Château de Rajat

To make a day of it

Château de Rajat stands in Saint-Pierre-de-Chandieu (Rhône), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Rajat straddles the border between Saint-Pierre-de-Chandieu, in the Rhône département, and Heyrieux, in Isère, with the departmental boundary running through the building itself. Built between the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Lyon bankers in a Louis XV style, this large mansion flanked by two square turrets sits within a twenty-hectare park planted with century-old trees. Owned by the municipality since 2016, the estate now functions as a venue for weddings and corporate events, with an orangery added in 2019 for larger gatherings.
