In 1306, Humbert IV sire of Thoire and Villars, inferior Bouligneux to Girard de La Palud, lord of Varambon, Richemond and Tossiat, who began the construction of the castle. In its primitive form, it consisted of a quadrangular enclosure flanked by corner towers and a main building. Entirely surrounded by a pond, only a drawbridge allowed access. At the beginning of the 15th century, a new enclosure (false braids) was added to the enclosure. At the end of the sixteenth century, the addition of two wings and a stable leaning on the courtines, construction of a gallery on porticoes, large staircase, chimneys, etc. At the Revolution, the castle escaped destruction, but its towers considered as a seigneurial symbol are levelled at the height of the buildings. In 1905, the west curtain and the stables in bad condition were destroyed, highlighting the beautiful courtyard. Today, Bouligneux, among the brick buildings (carrons) of the Dombes, is one of the most authentic castles of the region.
