Origin and history

The Château des Carbonnières is a building located in the municipality of Lacenas, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Although its name refers to an origin related to coal mining or artisanal activities, there is no available source indicating its exact date of construction or historical use. Its name suggests, however, a link with local economic activities, typical of the rural areas of this region.

In the Beaujolais context, where Lacenas is located, castles and fortified houses often played a central role in the agricultural and social organisation. These monuments served as residences for local lords or as management centres for surrounding lands. In the absence of accurate data on the Carbonnières Castle, it can be assumed that it is part of this tradition, reflecting the rural and wine-growing history of the region.
