The Château de Bouligneux is a former fortified house, dating from the early 14th century and remodeled in the late 16th or early 17th century. It was the center of the Bouligneux seigneury and the administrative center of a district in Bresse. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_de_Bouligneux

Built during the 14th century, Bouligneux Castle is a perfectly preserved feudal structure. The building was constructed using red bricks (carron bricks) typical of Dombes.
