What the French Ministry of Culture records

La fondation de Chamousset remonte au 13e siècle. Le château remplaça un manoir plus ancien. Restauré au 19e siècle avec la participation de Viollet-le-Duc et son collaborateur Edmond Duthoit. Entre 1868 et 1870, les premiers travaux consistent en la démolition et la reconstruction de la partie nord du château et du pavillon oriental. Vers 1885, construction du nouveau donjon, du corps de logis sud, de la tour au-dessus de la chapelle, et des bâtiments d'exploitation. De 1892 à 1895, réalisation de l'ensemble des travaux intérieurs de peinture par l'architecte Gelis-Didot, représentatifs des goûts d'une grande famille de l'époque. Salle-à-manger de style néo-médiéval (plafond, poutre à corbeaux, frise peinte, cheminée, boiseries...). La chambre du roi est décorée dans un style néo-Renaissance. La chambre du capitaine des gardes possède une cheminée de style néo-mauresque.
