True to Bresse architecture, the Domain des Saveurs - Les Planons has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1938. It was built in 1490 and operated until 1992. With its Saracen chimney, vast outbuildings, circulation galleries and spacious courtyard, the farm is a remarkable example of typical Bresse architecture.

Built in the 13th century, the castle of Jasseron was a colossal work, it dominated the plain of Bresse by more than 170 meters, it is estimated at more than 1250 meters of masonry. It was from 1601 that the castle was abandoned and for lack of maintenance it slowly began to die. Walls and roofs crumble one by one. In addition, the inhabitants of Jasseron fetch the materials needed to build new houses. In particular, stones and doors are taken there. Time and weather accentuate this demolition. Only the keep seems to still resist, it had a diameter of about eight meters and its walls two meters thick, and had nearly six floors. The first would have served as a dungeon or arms depot. The second, a little higher, consisted of a loophole and had dungeon access. The third floor served as accommodation. The fourth floor had a loophole. The fifth, meanwhile, was the defense floor. Finally the sixth floor was also a defense floor, note that this floor was added in 1434. Source: http://www.chateau-fort-manoir-chateau.eu/chateaux-ain-chateau-a-jasseron-chateau-de-jasseron.html
