Château de Chaumejean

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Chaumejean is located in the commune of Verneuil-en-Bourbonnais, in the Allier department. The name refers to an estate known since the late 15th century, held by a family of the same name, one of whose members, Colas de Chaumejean, appears among the Bourbonnais noblemen mentioned in the Armorial of Guillaume Revel. The present building, erected in the 19th century in polychrome brick, consists of an almost square two-storey main house with Louis XIII-style windows and corner quoins in white stone, extended by a narrow, set-back wing of timber framing filled with red brick in black diamond patterns. A square tower, taller than the rest of the house, contains a chapel on the upper floor. The château is privately owned, is not open to visitors and can only be seen from the road.
