    Seat of a castellany mentioned as early as 1077 and erected as a barony in the 15th century, the Romanesque keep of the castle of Morthemer has been the subject of excessive restoration on the elevation. These works were entrusted from 1865 by Baron de Soubeyran, a wealthy financier and deputy, to Boeswillwald, a disciple of Viollet-le-Duc. The keep was originally a square five-storey tower; it was connected to the church by a 17th century dwelling. Outrageous, this restoration perfectly applies the theories and options of the architect relating to fortified castles; in this respect, the example is unique in Vienne. The building nevertheless remains a spectacular example of a castle-church.
