Former residence of Antoine Barnave, politician of Grenoble decapitated during the French Revolution, the Barnave house dates from the XVIII^e century. Country house with the dauphinoise roof, it constitutes an old strong house of the Cotter. The building now houses one of the city's libraries.

Several other castles take place on the territory of the commune of Saint-Égrève, like that of Muret, that of the Tourelle at the end of the 17th century, that of Rocheplaine at the end of the 18th century or the castle Borel which today houses the town hall. Built at the beginning of the 18th century, it was completely transformed in the early 1910s to modernize.
