En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Concley lies in the commune of Poil, in the southern Morvan of the Nivernais, about three kilometres north of the village centre, along the road from Poil to Saint-Léger-sous-Beuvray. The site is mentioned as early as 1454 as a fief dominated by a castle, which Jean Ier de Chevannes took over that same year. The present château was built at the end of the 18th century by François de Champeaux, replacing an older building further to the east. Its chapel, erected in 1676 and blessed in 1764 by Denis de Velle, canon and lord of Villette, was rebuilt in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style, at a time when the château itself was remodelled to give it a medieval appearance. It retains a terracotta relief of the Annunciation attributed to the Florentine workshop of the Della Robbia (16th century), listed by the General Inventory of Cultural Heritage. The estate is privately owned and can be seen from the Poil châteaux hiking trail.
