The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Château fortifié par l'archevêque Renaud de Forez entre 1193 et 1226. En 1293, il est rétrogradé au rang de maison forte. A la fin du 15e siècle, la famille Ballarin réalise d'importants travaux. Transformée en exploitation agricole au 19e siècle, la maison est acquise en 1940 par un propriétaire qui en entreprend la restauration après la seconde guerre mondiale. La partie la plus ancienne est l'arc triomphal (13e siècle) d'une église romane sur lequel s'appuie au nord-ouest une tour carrée (13e-14e siècle). Au sud-est, tour-porche médiévale. Le corps de logis principal, daté de 1460, représente la demeure Renaissance élevée par les Ballarin. En 1959, création du jardin dit "de la Cozonnière" par le paysagiste Bourriquand, dans lequel se trouvent un buffet d'eau, des ruches, un pigeonnier et des statues contemporaines dues notamment au sculpteur Gabriel Gouttard.

History
Fortress fortified by Archbishop Renaud de Forez between 1193 and 1226. In 1293, it was downgraded to the rank of fortified house. At the end of the 15th century, the Ballarin family undertook major works. Transformed into an agricultural holding in the 19th century, the house was acquired in 1940 by an owner who undertook its restoration after the Second World War. The oldest part is the triumphal arch (13th century) of a Romanesque church on which leans to the north-west a square tower (13th-14th century). To the south-east, a medieval porch tower. The main dwelling, dated 1460, represents the Renaissance residence built by the Ballarin family. In 1959, creation of the garden known as "de la Cozonnière" by landscape designer Bourriquand, in which are found a water feature, beehives, a dovecote and contemporary statues due in particular to sculptor Gabriel Gouttard.
