Shortened history of the castle:

The Castle of Allymes was built in 1310 on the first foothills of the Bugey mountains by the Dauphin of Vienne during the war against the Count of Savoy (1272-1355).

The last battle against the Savoyards takes place on November 23, 1335. Defeated, the Castle of Allymes is then transferred to the Count of Savoy.

The castle became a French possession in the Treaty of Lyon in 1601.

A 1960 listed historic monument, the Castle of Allymes was saved from ruin and has been open to visitors since 1966.
