# Motte castrale de Saint-Jean-de-Thurigneux

Saint-Jean-de-Thurigneux, Ain, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Motte castrale de Saint-Jean-de-Thurigneux stands in Saint-Jean-de-Thurigneux (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In the middle of the flat Dombes plateau stands an isolated earthen mound marking the site of a vanished medieval stronghold. This artificial hill, surrounded by water-filled ditches, formed together with its wide outer bailey a fortified complex first recorded in 1180. On the upper platform, brick foundations of a five-sided building can still be traced, the remains of a later manor that replaced the original fortress. The site has undergone little alteration, allowing visitors to read the medieval fortified landscape almost directly.

**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.
