Origin and history

The Greysolière mansion, located in Écully in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, is a house built between the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The building features a trapezoidal plan, with southern facades and is decorated with cross-sections and half-crosses with Renaissance-like sills. The interiors have retained their original layout and decor, including a bedroom with a 16th century character frieze and an exceptional fireplace, equipped with interior shutters, located on the first floor. These elements bear witness to the architectural refinement of the time.

In the 17th century, the manor house underwent changes, especially at door level, followed by further modifications in the 18th century. The property once housed a chapel, a well and a washhouse, now disappeared, but retains a nymphaeus, a rare element for this type of dwelling. A 17th century plan attests to this initial organization. The manor house, including its nymph, was listed in the Historic Monuments by order of November 30, 1992, recognizing its heritage value.

The precise address of the mansion is the 7th road from Grandvaux to Écully, in the Rhône department (code Insee 69081). The GPS location is considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 7/10), and the site appears to be accessible, although the modalities of the visit (opening to the public, renting, guest rooms) are not detailed in the available sources.
