Château du Petit Luçay

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château du Petit Luçay stands about 4.5 kilometres west of the village of Agonges, in the Allier department. The lordship of Luçay is attested as early as 1300, when Dreux de Luçay held a house, meadows, lands and warrens in the parish. In 1382, the knight Pierre de Ciac, lord of Joserant, acknowledged holding the lordship of Luçay in the parish of Agonges. In 1503, Charles Percheron, the owner of the estate, rendered homage to the Duchess of Bourbon for his house and manor of Lussay. In the mid-17th century, the estate passed to the Josse family, who also owned the neighbouring La Pommeraie. In 1779, Jean Joseph de le Borgne styled himself lord of Luçay, before Jean Dauphin became its tenant farmer in 1787. The present building dates essentially from the 18th century. The Château du Petit Luçay remains private property and is not open to the public.
