Château de Clusors stands in Saint-Menoux (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 15th century, 16th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Built at the end of the 15th century on a former castle mound, the Clusors château stands near Saint-Menoux, facing the abbey that once held religious authority while Clusors represented civil power. The complex, altered over the centuries with the addition of a neo-Gothic wing, retains a main house, a stair turret and an enclosure flanked by round towers. Around the courtyard stand older outbuildings: an arcaded house, a dovecote and a barn resembling a fortified house.
