Perched on the foothills of Bugey, the Château des Allymes watches over the town. Model of medieval military architecture, first Dauphinois, then Savoyard. Towers, dungeon and curtain walls have survived the centuries and invite you to discover the place.
Hosted by the association of Friends of the Château des Allymes and René de Lucinge, it now hosts within its walls a permanent exhibition devoted to its history and temporary exhibitions, such as the Lego® and Playmobil® exhibition to be found every year. . Concerts, conferences and storytelling or evening visits are offered from time to time.
The castle has been owned by the City of Ambérieu since 1984.
