# Château de Chassignolles

Chassignolles, Haute-Loire, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Château de Chassignolles stands in Chassignolles (Haute-Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Chassignolles, in the Haute-Loire department, stands a fortified castle built in the mid-13th century, following the defensive model favoured under Philippe Auguste. Its rectangular layout, flanked by four round corner towers and two square towers set into the east and west walls, remains clearly legible despite a fire that struck the building in 1860. Visitors interested in medieval military architecture will find here a fairly pure example of Auvergne's defensive geometry, altered in the 15th and 17th centuries.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
