Just minutes from Lyon, on the heights above the Saône valley, this authentic medieval fortress, begun in 1173 on a former motte and long held by the canons of Lyon, rises in golden Monts d’Or stone with open, unobstructed views. The deconsecrated church, converted into a character home with 210 m² (2,260 sq ft) of living space, offers four bedrooms including a master suite with bathroom and dressing room, a large fitted kitchen-living room, an office, and a second bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing, gas heating and mains drainage. The medieval castle and its keep, extending over more than 300 m² (3,230 sq ft), are to be fully restored and enhanced, offering the chance to bring an authentic medieval monument back to life. A water feature (basin) could be added in the grounds, subject to approval by the Architecte des Bâtiments de France. Listed as a historic monument since 1942.
