Château de Châteaufer, Historic castle in Bruère-Allichamps, France.

Château de Châteaufer, also called château du Breuil, is a rectangular main building flanked by two projecting wings, with a low ground floor, one noble storey and attics under flat tiles. Its pale beige facade has tall paned windows, doors framed by Doric pilasters with very low pediments, and dormer windows with pediments; a stone staircase with two straight flights fills one wing.

Built between 1666 and 1670 for Charles Le Fer, receiver general of finances at Bourges, on the site of the old seigneurial hôtel du Breuil, attested since the 14th century. His daughter Marguerite brought it to the Robin family in 1698. In 1939 the buildings housed refugees of the Spanish Civil War, and the château has been listed as a monument historique since 2002.

The château takes its name from Charles Le Fer, receiver general of finances in Bourges, who built it between 1666 and 1670; his family arms, three red cockerels on silver, are those of the Le Fer. In 1698 Marguerite Le Fer brought the estate to Antoine François Robin, whose descendants were called Robin de Châteaufer. A chapel built by Le Fer in 1670 stood at the south end, where the prior of Allichamps owed five masses a year.

The château stands in Bruère-Allichamps, at the border of Berry and Bourbonnais. The entrance portal, the forecourt wall and the moats are among the protected elements, alongside the chapel at the south end and the two outbuildings in the forecourt. The building is private and has been under restoration since 2002.

The château's name comes from Charles Le Fer, receiver general of finances in Bourges, who built it between 1666 and 1670 and left it to his daughter Marguerite in 1695. The Le Fer arms, three red cockerels on a silver field, recall the family. In 1917 American troops were quartered in the remonte annex, staying two years.
