Château de la Cheyrelle, Historical monument in Dienne, France.

Château de la Cheyrelle stands at 1,100 m in Dienne, built from 1858 to 1868 by Auguste Felgères as a small country castel. A second building, "la nouvelle maison", was added in 1904 for stables, tack room, kitchen and cellar, with a keeper's pavilion at the entrance in 1905. The 1.7-hectare park is planted with fine trees; from its terrace you look over Dienne, the Santoire valley and the Limon plateau.

The building started as a summer home in 1858 and underwent major interior changes around 1903-1905. These renovations transformed how people could live in and experience the space.

The château's name comes from the Felgères family, owners from 1847 to 1989. Jacqueline Felgères-Trillat, daughter of Pierre, received the Prix du Mérite agricole in 1967 for reviving Salers cattle breeding on the estate, where farming continued until 1994. Her husband, physicist Jean-Jacques Trillat, took part in 1940 in evacuating heavy water and radium from Joliot-Curie's laboratory.

The château has been open to visitors again since summer 2024, after restoration work begun in autumn 2017. It stands at 1,100 m altitude in the commune of Dienne; from its terrace there is a view over the village, the Santoire valley and the Limon plateau. The grounds cover about 1.7 hectares.

Most of the furniture and fixtures inside have remained from the time of the early 1900s renovations, making this one of the few places where you can see such a complete original interior. This level of preservation reveals how an artist coordinated every detail across an entire home.
