Origin and history

Chitry Castle is a monument located in the commune of Vallières-sur-Fier, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The available sources do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, making it a building whose origins remain partially mysterious. Castles in this region, often linked to feudal history or to local families, generally served as seigneurial residences or defence points.

In the absence of specific information on Chitry, it can be assumed that it played a similar role, reflecting the social and economic dynamics of its time, marked by agriculture, handicrafts and a community organization centred around lords or religious institutions.
