CASTLE OF VELLUM
This castle features Dauphin-style masonry with pebbles and black stone known as Mont Blanc Serpentine, and was home to Stendhal.
The château is not open to visitors, but its architecture is particularly interesting. The masonry of Château de Vérel is quite remarkable, in the Dauphinoise style with black pebbles and stones known as "Serpentines du Mont-Blanc", all dating from 1610. The building features two turrets on the façade and a projecting square courtyard in the middle of the west façade. The large pitched roof, as high as the distance between the ground and the edge of the roof, is covered in flaked tiles. Stendhal stayed here.
