LEGENDARY FORTRESS OF VEAUCE IN THE HEART OF THE ALLIER REGION - Historic Monument - MORE THAN 1,000 YEARS OF HISTORY - ON A ROCKY SPUR - SPLENDID VIEW - 8.3 HECTARES - ENDANGERED MONUMENT Known for having been the residence of Louis the Pious, Emperor of the West, in the 9th century. The site of the Chateau of Veauce has existed since the Gallo-Roman period, and springs still containing water from that era are visible in one of the castle cellars. In the 9th century, the chateau served as the summer residence of Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne, Emperor and King of the Franks. The fortress underwent numerous construction and reconstruction phases: in the 11th century, the 13th century, and then at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, when the lordship of Veauce was elevated to a barony. The chateau then belonged to Louis II de Bourbon. Upon the death of the Constable Charles III de Bourbon in 1527, the lordship returned to the Crown. It was not until the 19th century that Veauce regained its splendor with the arrival of Charles de Cadier de Veauce, an influential politician and friend of the Duke of Morny, who restored the chateau in Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance style. He was also responsible for constructing the current stables and converting a semi-circular section of the fortress into a riding arena. He also commissioned the landscaping of the park by the Count of Choulot. From the medieval fortress remain the high keep, towers, curtain walls, part of the covered wall walk, and the kitchens. Despite its appearance as a medieval fortress, the Baron of Veauce modernized the property in the taste of the 19th century. In the 20th century, under the impulse of the penultimate owner, the chateau became associated with the legend of Lucie, a ghost reportedly seen many times, which brought fame both to the site and to its owner at the time, Mr. Tagori “de la Tour” (it was Eugène de Cadier de Veauce who sold the chateau to Mr. Tagori in 1972). The chateau consists of four wings: An ancient wing over three levels and several basement levels. This building, dating from the medieval period of the chateau, was largely remodeled during the 19th century but still retains 15th-century features such as fireplaces and mullioned windows. The east wing is served by a circular staircase located in a projecting tower next to which stands the castle chapel (probably a simple oratory). On the ground floor and first floor, a large corridor provides access to all the salons. The noble floor is located on the first floor. The second level, originally reserved for servants, has been partially renovated by the current owners. The basement contains the former kitchens of the medieval chateau as well as a series of cellars. There is also a cistern believed to date back to the Gallo-Roman era. A 19th-century wing designed in Neo-Renaissance style. Its layout is identical to the ancient wing. It was in this part of the monument that the Duke of Morny stayed while constructing the Chateau of Nades in the Puy-de-Dôme region. The two other wings, partially collapsed, consist of outbuildings, garages, and stables built upon former structures. The entire ensemble of these four wings is surrounded by curtain walls and fortification towers dating between the 13th and 15th centuries. Battlements and the conversion of one tower into a clock tower were added during the 19th century. Around the fortress are various landscaped features and buildings: To the east, a large terrace with staircase constituted the ceremonial access to the chateau, probably from the 18th century onward. An entrance with lodge and large gate was created in Troubadour style during the 19th century (another lodge, known as the “Lion Lodge,” forms the entrance at the eastern edge of the park). To the west, a former tower converted into an icehouse, as well as another entrance with lodge and gate (known as the “Small Lodge”). The 8.3-hectare park contains remarkable trees, and the river “Veauce” flows through the center of the estate. Several buildings, probably dating from the 19th century, have been left abandoned: a mill, a metal greenhouse, and various additional structures. The property is currently subject to an official emergency works order issued by the State to carry out urgent stabilization works, allowing the future owner time to prepare a full restoration program. Location: -A grocery store in the village near the chateau. -All shops within less than 10 minutes by car -Vichy train station 40 km away, then Paris in 3h20 by train and Lyon in 2h. Price: 800,000 euros agency fees included (agency fees payable by the seller). Fees to be paid by the seller. Not subject to DPE.

On the border of Cantal and Aveyron, overlooking the Goul valley, stands a medieval and Renaissance castle on a 15-hectare estate. Located in the center of its territory and isolated in a completely preserved environment, the castle, fully classified as MH, rises above the valley that marks the historical boundary between Haute-Auvergne and Rouergue. The main access is via the eastern side where there was likely an old drawbridge. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages when the site was just a keep surrounded by a defensive enclosure of five to seven towers. Today, remnants from that era include the first keep to the west, a second tower built in the 15th century to the east, as well as one of the truncated defensive towers, surrounded by terraces and open spaces. The central residence, built during the Renaissance between the two square towers, features numerous double casement windows on its south facade and a sculpted decoration around the main entrance. An additional wing was added on the north side in the 18th century. Inside, the layout of the rooms has not been changed. In addition to a monumental Italian staircase, the ground floor consists of an old low hall now serving as a dining room, a small television lounge, two kitchens – the original and a more recent one – as well as access to the cellars and a garage. The first floor includes an old lord's room, a contiguous small lounge, two bedrooms, and a shower room with toilets. Access to the 18th-century section leads to a succession of three bedrooms with water points, a bathroom, and separate toilets. The second floor comprises a spacious room known as the 'Queen's Room,' an office, two other bedrooms, and a shower room with toilets. A half-landing passage leads to a shower room and the attic of the 18th-century section. The third floor consists of a display room, followed by a guest room, former service rooms, and an interior dovecote. A small staircase leads to the loft with a large room under the rafters and two chimneys. It precedes a chapel and the upper parts of the two towers. A caretaker's house and a swimming pool are also located on the estate.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 19th-century Palladian chateau, its outbuildings, tree-filled grounds, a swimming pool and vegetable garden, on the border of the Corrèze and Cantal departments. Seen from above, the chateau’s footprint is a reminder that it was built below the vestiges of a fortified castle constructed around 1470, which once belonged to the same family. Located on the outskirts of the village and nestled within a verdant setting, from its entrance gate, a lane skirts the grounds’ immense expanses of lawn before arriving at the chateau. Steeped in the heritage of French Palladian dwellings from the early 19th century, when Palladio’s influence was combined with local classicism, the use of carefully dressed blonde stone and the regularity of the stonework conveys the desire to make the building as durable as possible, according to a rational architectural ideal, while its white louvred shutters help lighten the chateau’s overall and impressive heft. Surrounded by a wide array of tall trees: limes, thuyas, beeches and different resinous varieties, directly opposite the chateau, several metres from the swimming pool and skirting a portion of the wall that separates the property from a private drive, a perennial flowerbed is planted with rosebushes in an array of shimmering colours. In addition, a barn, adjacent to the chateau, is used as a garage and the machine room for the swimming pool, while, set back at a distance, a small 16th-century manor house, with its own garden and a central staircase tower, abuts the grounds’ southern entrance. As for the grounds, they include a variety of different spaces, such as a vegetable garden, a piece of land zoned for construction and two grassy plots, whereas four agricultural parcels with two barns, each with 400 m², can be purchased with the property at an additional price.
