The La Chassaigne castle

Primarily property of Auvergnats since 1251 with Guillaume of Chassaigne, ancestor of one of the founders in 1395 of the brotherhood of "gold Apple" whose association of development of the place took again the name. The manor, beautiful example of architecture of the end of XV century strikes by the quality of its interior decoration (large Gothic gallery and its vault will intra muros). It is surrounded of English gardens in a domesticated nature which makes the charm of this place.
