En un regard
Le château en bref
Built around 1300 by Laurent du Plantadis, the Château du Bost, in Magnat-l'Étrange (Creuse), bears the date 1579 above its entrance door. Around 1550 the seigneury passed to Jacques de Rochedragon, then to Gabriel de Plantadis; Nicolas Tixier acquired it through his marriage to Anne Meusnier in 1661, and Marguerite Tixier passed it on through her marriage to François de Fressanges in 1750. At the beginning of the 19th century, Mademoiselle de Fressanges married the Marquis Marien d'Ussel, whose family has kept the estate ever since: the marquis's great-granddaughter is its current owner. Restored around 1900 by the Marquis d'Ussel, the château, which can be seen from the outside, remains private property closed to visitors.
