| 3340 Uriage-les-Bains - The park dominates by the Château d'Uriage |
The town is dominated by the Château d'Uriage, built in the 15th and 16th centuries, but it is likely that there are elements dating from the time of its construction by the Germans in the 13th century. The castle is made up of three massive main buildings, erected around a square courtyard, flanked by the corners of the round towers. The largest and tallest serving as a dungeon. In the late 1980s, it was transformed into a co-ownership of 50 flats, making it a private property.
