Château de la Chassaigne

Château de la Chassaigne combines 15th-century architecture with 18th-century alterations and sits within English-style gardens. The main house provides residential spaces including five bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, and outdoor areas overlooking the surrounding hills.

The property was built originally in the 15th century and underwent significant changes during the 18th century. During the French Revolution, the Montmorin family, former paper manufacturers who had gained nobility, had the castle towers dismantled.

The chapel inside holds wall paintings created across different time periods, showing artistic styles from the Gothic era up through the 1700s.

The location sits in Thiers in the Auvergne region and is accessible by local roads. Visitors should know that the grounds are private and visits require prior arrangement.

The second floor contains a room with original wood paneling from the Louis XIV period created in the 18th century. This carved woodwork reveals the craftsmanship and design preferences that French nobility of the time valued.
