The Towers of Lissieu, remains of a 12th century castle, are a major historical and heritage symbol of the city. Listed in the inventory of historical monuments since 1936, they are a testimony to the history of the city. The original castle, built in the 12th century, was built on the remains of a first wooden castle dating from the 10th century. Initially possession of the sires of Beaujeu, it was quickly claimed by the Archbishop of Lyon, which led Pope Innocent II to order its destruction. However, this order was never executed. The Tours de Lissieu, located in the heart of the village, testify to the rich medieval past of our territory. They are a strong symbol of local identity and attract the interest of both residents and visitors. Thanks to the work carried out, they will be able to continue to cross the centuries and to be part of the Lissilois landscape.
