Château de Chaumont, Medieval castle in La Serre-Bussière-Vieille, France
Château de Chaumont is a castle built in 1886 in the rural landscape of Creuse department. Its exterior walls remain standing and display architectural features from that period.
The castle was built in 1886 for opera singer Eugénie Bardet as her personal residence. During World War II it served as a refuge operated by OSE to protect vulnerable children.
The castle was closely connected to French opera through its original owner Eugénie Bardet, a celebrated singer. This artistic legacy remains woven into the place's identity today.
The site is difficult to reach and located in a remote area of the countryside. Visitors should expect rough terrain and active construction work since major restoration is underway.
The castle sheltered children during the war who later became notable entertainers, including Popeck and Bill Graham. A commemorative plaque at rue de Chaumont marks this hidden chapter.
