La Prade Château

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de la Prade, in Cébazat (Puy-de-Dôme), was built in the nineteenth century by the Pyrent family, who acquired the estate then known as "La Roze" around 1872 and renamed it "La Prade". Benoît-Edmond Pyrent de la Prade, baron and mayor of Cébazat from 1879 to 1882, lived there before Professor Castaigne, dean of the faculty of medicine and future mayor of Cébazat (1925–1945), acquired the property in 1920. In 1951 the estate became a training centre for Électricité de France and Gaz de France, before being bought back by the commune in 2007. The 5-hectare park, planted with centuries-old trees, is now a public space open to all free of charge, open on weekends and public holidays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and rents out spaces for events.
