Château de Saint-Hubert

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château (or manor) de Saint-Hubert is located in the commune of Chavenon, in the Allier department. Originally a hunting lodge belonging to the Château de Laly, at Le Montet, the building was enlarged and transformed in the 19th century into a regionalist-style bourgeois residence, with agricultural outbuildings, by its owner Pierre Camus (1845–1905). The estate is distinguished by a naturalistic-style park designed by one of the generations of the Treyve dynasty of landscape gardeners from Vichy. Passed down by inheritance to the Favardin, Piat and then Michelon families, the estate became in 2006, at the request of the descendants of the owning family, an Orthodox monastery attached to the Patriarchate of Moscow, placed under the supervision of the Orthodox Monastery of the Icon of the Mother of God of the Sign (Znamenie) in Marcenat (Cantal).
