Château de Chéry stands in Souvigny (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Souvigny, in the Allier department, the château de Chéry spreads its three wings around a courtyard open to the north. The eastern wing, the oldest part, dates from the late 15th century and looks like a small manor house, served by a spiral staircase turret. Inside, a vaulted ground floor sits below an upper room with exposed timber beams and a carved fireplace. The western wing has lost its roof but still shows a fireplace in the same style, next to the former farm buildings.
