39 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 231 castles we list in Rhône, these 39 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 39 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 37 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Saint-Priest (Saint-Priest Castle) (with a restaurant), Château de Jarnioux (Jarnioux Castle) (open to visitors), Château de Montmelas (également sur commune de Saint-Julien) (you can stay the night), Château de Corcelles-en-Beaujolais (Corcelles-en-Beaujolais Castle) (15th century) and Château de Saconay (Saconay Castle) (on the historic monuments register).

7 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 7 and the prices of 4 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 6 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 39 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
