In the 10th century, a community of monks must have lived in Demptézieu, if only for the construction of a church. This monastery, under the dependence of the church of Lyon, managed the town, its lands and its vineyards.
Around 1172, this church was placed under the patronage of Saint Chef and until 1801, it was patronized by the diocese of Vienna.
In the 11th century, the castle of Demptézieu was defended by 15 towers connected by a surrounding wall 800m long and 1.30m thick. These fortifications went as far as the Chapelle Seigneuriale (the current church).
