Although first mentioned in 1540, the Cingle fortified house was undoubtedly built in the second half of the 14th century by the Pèlerin family. Originally composed of a main tower and a wing back to the west, it perhaps originally included a curtain wall. During the 15th century, the south wing was extended towards the west, a main building comprising a lower room and an upper room was attached to the north of the main tower, while a turret occupied on the first floor by an oratory and on the second by a dovecote is built to the east, projecting. A wing including the kitchen on the ground floor is also built at right angles to the north of the courtyard. The farm itself retains some architectural elements dating from the 16th century.

The Château de Saint-Germain, dating from the 11th century, is an old fortified castle whose ruins still remain on the site. It is located 460 meters above the Albarine valley, on a promontory which gives it strategic importance. As a result, the castle underwent numerous seizures in an attempt to take control of it. A nice place to immerse yourself in history, but also to enjoy the view of the valley.

From Saint Sorlin-en-Bugey, the Rhone is framed on the left and right by rock faces. Looks very impressive.
