Montrottier is common in the wider area of the canton of Saint-Laurent-de-Chamousset. The town, located 700 meters above sea level, offers a vast panorama of the surrounding countryside and the Alps in the distance, on clear days.

In the second part of the 15th century, Guichard Pavia rebuilt the castle and build the central part of the present church.
