# Château des Éclaz

Cheignieu-la-Balme, Ain, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Château des Éclaz stands in Cheignieu-la-Balme (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the edge of Cheignieu-la-Balme, in the Ain department, the Éclaz castle combines the remains of a medieval fortified house with a main building erected in the 17th century atop its ruins. Visitors can spot mullioned windows, a tower, ramparts, as well as a mill and its diversion channel, traces of a once-defended site turned residence. The main building's roof, framed in fully pegged chestnut timber, follows the Philibert Delorme design, a detail of interest to those curious about rural architecture.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
