The history of the Château d'Origny
- 1226 – Ponce, abbot of Sept-Fons, leaves Gilbert d'Origny what the abbey owned in the parish of Neuvy.
- 1557 – The lord of Origny is Antoine de Jaligny.
- 17th century – The lordship passes through several hands, including townsmen of Moulins.
- 1742 – The estate belongs to a king’s prosecutor at the finance office, who was mayor of Moulins.
- Revolution – His son emigrates; his property is confiscated and sold, and the Origny estate is bought by a Moulins banker.
- 1871–1881 – The banker’s son, mayor of Neuvy, has the château rebuilt, according to Wikipedia.
- 1875 – Date of the present square neo-Gothic house.
The present Château d'Origny is a square neo-Gothic house built in 1875. The old manor was surrounded by dry moats, and a barn with a timber frame and two-colour brickwork still stands on the estate. The name Origny is recorded as early as the 13th century, in the days of Sept-Fons Abbey.
The estate lies a short drive from Moulins, former capital of the duchy of Bourbon, with its cathedral, Mal-Coiffée tower and museums. That proximity makes the château a natural base for exploring the Bourbonnais.

Where the Château d'Origny is: on the edge of Moulins
The château stands in Neuvy, a Bourbonnais village separated from Moulins’ La Madeleine district by a small stream, the Chinard, a few hundred metres from the River Allier. The centre of Moulins is about 2 km away as the crow flies; the National Centre for Stage Costume, housed in a former cavalry barracks, is just over a kilometre away.
Moulins, the prefecture of the Allier and a city of art and history, holds most of the sights: the cathedral, the remains of the dukes of Bourbon’s château, the Anne de Beaujeu Museum and the Maison Mantin. Further afield, Souvigny Priory and the Château de Bourbon-l'Archambault tell the story of the Bourbons. Expedia also lists the Balaine arboretum and the Le Pal park among the region’s attractions.
