Château de Chaussins stands in Abrest (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Abrest, in the Allier department, the château de Chaussins groups its buildings around a courtyard surrounded by moats. The L shaped manor house dating from the 14th century, extended by a hexagonal tower that is round on the inside, forms the oldest part of an ensemble completed in the following century. A roofless wing on the north side recalls that it was left unfinished after the owner's murder in 1573. Inside, gothic and Renaissance fireplaces survive along with wall paintings on the first floor.
