Photos of Château à Château-sur-Allier
The Château de Saint-Augustin, a neighbour of Château-sur-Allier
- 15th–17th century – The La Souche family are lords of Saint-Augustin, a very old fief dependent on the barony of Veauce.
- 1692 – Michel Cadier, esquire, buys the lordship.
- 1703 – Michel Cadier buys the barony of Veauce and, according to Wikipedia with the help of Mansart, completes the château, turning it into a hunting lodge.
- 1706 – Michel Cadier has the chapel built.
- 1729–1730 – His son Gilbert demolishes the old château around 1729 and has the present one built in 1730.
- c. 1810 – Count Chaillon de Jonville turns the château into a Palladian villa.
- 1967–2002 – An animal reserve surrounds the château from 1967 to 1975; the wildlife park closes in 2002.
- 1969–2006 – The château is partly classified as a historic monument in 1969; other parts are listed in 2006.
The Expedia listing does not name the château. Its coordinates place it about 90 m from the Château de Saint-Augustin, 4 km north-west of the village of Château-sur-Allier along the D13, but that is not enough to identify it with certainty; the landmarks above therefore concern this neighbouring château and not the accommodation itself.
The old château survives only as the dovecote; the chapel dates from 1706, and the present house, of polychrome brick on two floors, stands in a very large park.
