Château de la Chasseigne, Medieval château in Saint-Parize-le-Châtel, France.
The Château de la Chasseigne is a castle featuring two round towers connected by an arched gallery, solid stone walls, and a grand oak staircase within the entrance hall. The rooms showcase neoclassical wall paneling, a historic piano, and ornate stained glass windows in the family chapel.
Built in the 15th century by Robert de la Chasseigne, the castle came into the hands of the de Montrichard family through marriage to Count Gabriel-Étienne in 1789. The family's ownership shaped the residence for generations afterward.
The grand salon contains neo-classical wall paneling and houses a Maison Pleyel piano, while the family chapel displays detailed stained glass windows.
The castle requires significant restoration work, particularly to the roof, plumbing, and masonry, affecting visitor access in some areas. Plan your visit with flexibility, as sections may be closed or under renovation.
In 2020, a small group of four people founded the Companions of the Château de la Chasseigne to preserve and restore the deteriorating property. This grassroots initiative reflects the community's commitment to saving the estate from further decay.
