Origin and history

The Château de Vallières, located in Saint-Georges-de-Reneins (Rhône), is an old house built in the first half of the seventeenth century. Although redesigned in the 19th century, it retained notable architectural elements, such as a pigeon house and protected facades. Some parts of the castle, including the interior staircase and living rooms with their decor, have been listed or listed as Historic Monuments since the 1970s and 1980s.

Originally, the castle belonged to the Cordier family in the 14th century, notably to Jean Cordier, squire and seigneur of Vallières, who held important positions as adviser to the Duke of Bourbonnais and hotel master of Anne de France. After the extinction of this line in 1526, the estate changed hands on several occasions, including the Genestoux in the late seventeenth century, and Claude de Bouys, lawyer and receiver general, in 1776. These changes in ownership reflect the social and economic evolution of the region.

The castle has been partially protected since 1974 and 1988, with remarkable elements such as the ship's roofs of the barn or the interior decorations of the living rooms. His dovecote and his commons bear witness to his seigneurial past. Today, although the information on its current vocation (visits, rentals) is incomplete, its architecture and history make it a notable heritage of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
