Chateau de Vocance

This building is listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its most remote origin cites its existence in 790. It was a considerable place of defence. Dismantled in 1586, only one Renaissance part remains.

Place of refuge and justice, the castle administered the five municipalities of the Vocance valley. Its buildings were more numerous than today and constituted a small fortified city, dominated by a dungeon, on the left bank of the Cance. The site belonged to different families, then its decline followed that of feudalism. All that remains of this complex is above all its entrance buildings, on the banks of the river, which their current owner is gradually restoring. The site has been listed as a historical monument since 1986.
