En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Chambeuil, now in ruins, in the commune of Laveissière in the Cantal, has a feudal history extending from the 13th to the 17th century. The first known lord, Eustache de Beaumarché, married Marine de Vigouroux in 1265; on his death in 1294, his daughter Marie sold the seigneury in 1325 to Pierre II de la Vie de Villemur, nephew of Pope John XXII. The castle was enlarged in 1403 under Guillaume; in 1538, Charles paid homage to the king for the seigneury. It passed to the Julien family and then, in the 17th century, to the house of Cosnac; the latter sold part of it in the first half of the century to the d'Anterroches family, which became sole lord after buying out the rights of Clément de Cosnac. Located at the top of the village of the same name, on the right bank of the stream of the same name and now overlooked by a railway viaduct, the site retains only a few walls and the remains of a small tower.
