A former 14th-century fortified house transformed into a pleasure residence in the 18th century, the Château de Barbarin has watched over the Bièvre Valloire plain for more than eight hundred years.

An exceptional estate saved from ruin and restored to its grand history
Acquired in 1993 when it had been looted and was destined for certain ruin, the château was patiently restored and its history brought back to life by the Seigle-Paillet family. In 2003, the acquisition of the historic farm, the monumental barn, and the surrounding land made it possible to restore a coherent architectural and estate complex that has remained intact since the 14th century. An ongoing commitment to preserving and promoting the heritage of Isère.
