En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Chasseigne is located in the commune of Saint-Parize-le-Châtel, in the Nièvre. It succeeds a fortified manor house of the 15th century, once protected by moats and enclosure walls, of which only a gateway flanked by two towers survives. In 1868, Count Armand de Montrichard had a neo-Renaissance château built nearby, linked by a gallery to this medieval gateway; the composition thus juxtaposes a fortified entrance from the late Middle Ages with a historicist residence. A secondary source names the architect Lévy, an attribution that the commune does not confirm. The Archives départementales de la Nièvre hold plans, sketches and elevations relating to the château and its restoration in the Bouveault-Palet collection. Still in poor condition at the beginning of the 21st century, the château has been the subject of a conservation association's efforts since 2020. It is a privately owned property, visible from the road, and is not protected as a monument historique.
