Built during the wars between the counties of Dauphiné and Savoie, this 14th century castle stood tall on the hill overlooking the Galeyson and Galaure valleys. Panoramic view of the Vercors mountains and of the Mont Pilat peak

The historical link between the fortified house of Les Loives and the feudal castle of Montfalcon was established on February 26, 1327, when Dauphin Guigues VIII and noble brother Humbert de la Balme, knight of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem and owner of the Chasselet des Loëves commandery, decided to build a castle on a molar called Mont Falcon, to protect the men and property of Les Loives from Savoyard exactions.
