History
Plaque at Château d'Uriage
The castle was built in the 15th and 16th centuries.
From summer 1940 to December 1942, the chateau was home to the Ecole Nationale des Cadres de la Jeunesse, a training school for the French elite inspired by the Revolution nationale heralded by Marshal Philippe Pétain.
In the late 1980s, it was transformed into a co-ownership of 50 flats, making it a private property. Following a vote from the co-owners, the castle grounds are visible publicly one or two days a year, on the European Heritage Days.
Architectural significance
It has been listed as an official monument since 1990.
