To make a day of it
Château de Treffort stands in Val-Revermont (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Adult admission costs 9 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 5, 2026.
The château de Treffort stands at the top of the village, in the Revermont hills, on a fortified site dating back to the 10th century. The medieval stronghold was destroyed in 1641 during the Franco-Spanish war and later rebuilt in the early 20th century by the architect Tony Ferret, who lived in Treffort. Visitors come mainly for the silhouette of the building above the village and the view from its elevated position.

- The site can be combined with other village landmarks such as the Plate washhouse or the Montfort chapel during the same visit.
- Treffort is now a component locality of the commune of Val-Revermont, in the Ain department.
