Château de Sassenage stands in Sassenage (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). Adult admission costs 10 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 13, 2026.

On the outskirts of Grenoble, the château de Sassenage has stood since the 17th century on the site of an earlier residence of the barons of Sassenage, torn down in 1661. The reception rooms and private apartments on the first floor hold furniture linked to the Bérenger-Sassenage family, who owned the estate for generations. The surrounding park, protected along with the château, combines three centuries of garden design, from the formal French layout to the landscaped grounds of the 19th century.

This place also features in The castles of the fairy Melusine
