Château de Parentignat, Historical castle in Parentignat, France.

The castle features a symmetrical facade with three bays topped by a pediment and includes a terrace along one of its side faces.

Construction began in 1707 when Jean-Antoine de Lastic and his nephew François II purchased the castle from the Sommyèvre heirs, incorporating a 15th-century fortress.

The castle houses the Georges de Lastic collection, containing French master paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, displayed in multiple restored reception rooms.

Visitors can access the castle via Issoire train station located 3 kilometers away or through Aulnat-Clermont Ferrand Airport at 30 kilometers distance.

The castle maintained its complete original furniture through the French Revolution, earning the nickname 'Little Versailles of Auvergne' in the early 20th century.
