Built in 1350 (14th century) by Pierre de Genost.
It was conquered in 1535 by Admiral Chabot for Francis I during the conquest of Bresse, Bugey, and Valromey. In 1600, Marshal Biron recaptured Bresse for Henry IV, along with the Château de Genoud, which he pillaged and devastated on his way to Savoy.
The residence belonged at the time to Sieur Claude de la Couz, Abbot of Ambronay.
This castle was partially destroyed and rebuilt several times. It was preserved for approximately 250 years by the de Genost family.
It was listed as a historic monument in 2006.
