Château d'Issards stands in Autry-Issards (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, third quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
At Autry-Issards, in the Allier department, this château combines a 15th-century medieval remnant with a 19th-century rebuilding carried out by architect Jean Moreau for Count Carré d'Aligny. The round tower and its Gothic stair turret stand alongside a rectangular main building surrounded by moats, whose rooms still hold panelling, fireplaces and ceilings from the Moreau period. Listed as a historic monument, the estate is worth a visit for the contrast between the old stonework and the 19th-century decor.
