The Presbytère de Satillieu, a 18th-century castle built on the remains of an ancient Roman fort, was once a rectory but is now a Mairie. Located in the heart of the village of Satillieu, in the Ardèche department of France, it has been inscribed as a monument historique since August 1, 1974. Today, it is a captivating sight to behold, housing the 'Salle Don Quichotte' and the 'Chamber of the Marquise'. The 'Salle Don Quichotte' is adorned with stunning paintings, classified as historical monuments, but their origins remain a mystery. The 'Chamber of the Marquise', on the other hand, boasts of 19th-century wallpaper, also classified as historical monuments. In the summer of 2013, an exhibition of local artists' works was held to celebrate the castle's 990th anniversary.
