Château de Varey

Edward, Count of Savoy, tried in vain to seize it by force on 7 August 1325, during the Battle of Varey, and saw his army defeated and almost annihilated by Guigues VIII, Dauphin of Viennois, who rushed to the aid of the place.

[3] Grateful for the service that the dauphin had rendered him, Hugues of Geneva recognized himself as the latter's liege man, and paid homage on 16 February 1334 from Varey, to his successor Humbert II of Viennois.

[2] In 1349, it was acquired, along with the whole of Dauphiné, by Philip VI, the King of France, who died in 1350 and was succeeded by his eldest son, John II.

By the exchange contract, dated 5 January 1355, King John II and his son Charles, the new Dauphin of Viennois, ceded it with his mandate to Amadeus V, Count of Savoy.

The Château de Varey, badly damaged in 1793, by the orders of Albitte, was restored in the middle of the 19th century by architect Fléchel.
