Culture and History

The remains of the Château de Jasseron have been listed as historical monuments since 22 February 1927. The Château de Jasseron became the centre of a châtellenie; only one tower of its 13th-century feudal castle is still visible today.

The remains of an early feudal settlement can be found at the hamlet of Le Prieuré in Jasseron. These remains are listed as a historical monument; the listing took place on 17 February 1984. The Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste of Jasseron was historically connected to the Abbey of Saint-Claude through the prior of Jasseron.

The present-day Notre-Dame-des-Conches chapel dates from 1839. It is located on the edge of the Jasseron municipal area, directly on the border with Drom. In the 1930s, pilgrimages to Notre-Dame-des-Conches attracted large crowds. The Poype may have served as a military position or a place of worship.
