Le château en bref

Château Benoid, also known as Château Benoît, is the former seigneurial château of Nussargues, on a small rise overlooking the Allagnon at Neussargues (Neussargues en Pinatelle, Cantal). According to the Dictionnaire statistique du Cantal, it dates from the seventeenth century and consists of a square main building flanked by a stair tower, with no defensive features. The fief, held of Mardogne, passed at the end of the eighteenth century to the Teissèdre family and then to the Benoids, who had the church of the Immaculée-Conception built directly in front of the château. Later the property of the Delbos family, it hosted Olivier Messiaen and Claire Delbos in the 1930s. It is a private property.
