The castle seen from its park.

The Château de Vizille is a castle in the French town of Vizille.

History

It was built in 1600 and 1619 by François de Bonne, duc de Lesdiguières and bought at the end of the 18th century by Claude Perier, a local businessman, who set up a textile factory in it. On 21 July 1788 he allowed the estates general of the Dauphiné to meet in a tennis court in the castle, after it was banned from gathering at Grenoble. The Perier family owned it until 1895, during which time the castle itself was made a monument historique, in 1862.
