Origin and history

Château du Cellier is a monument located in the commune of Saint-Fortunat-sur-Eyrieux, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This type of building, often linked to aristocracy or local defence, could play a central role in the social and economic organisation of the region.

In the general context of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, castles and fortified houses frequently served as seigneurial residences or strategic points for controlling the territories. Their presence reflected the dynamics of local power, while participating in the daily life of the surrounding communities, including through agriculture, crafts and trade.
