The hamlet of Saint-Nizier d'Uriage (Saint-Martin d'Uriage, eight kilometers from Grenoble) depends on the lordship of Uriage erected into a barony in 1496, favor granted to Soffrey Alleman by Charles VIII. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Geoffroy, Lord of "Châteauneuf d'Uriage", then Gaspard Alleman, Baron of Uriage, undertook to enlarge and modernize the castle in the Renaissance style. The Alleman family kept the castle of Uriage for nearly 600 years. In 1630, Gaspard Alleman, sold the castle to Thomas Boffin, State Councillor, from a family of people of dress. Gaspard Alleman and Thomas Boffin are mentioned in several documents of our set.
