It stands in the commune of Montmelas-Saint-Sorlin in the Rhône department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The castle was listed as a historical monument by decree of June 29, 2000. Montmelas comes from the Latin mons malatus, "mountain laden with fruit".

Pretty village in golden stones in the heart of Beaujolais. On the heights of the village you have a magnificent panorama of the Saône plain, and even of the Alps and Mont Blanc in clear weather.
