Château de Feugerolles stands in Le Chambon-Feugerolles (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, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Built in the 13th century in Loire, Château de Feugerolles stands within a lozenge-shaped enclosure defended by corner towers and a monumental gateway. The building has undergone several transformations: 17th-century modifications gave it a classical character with formal gardens, and early 20th-century renovation completed its current form. Its interior preserves elements from these successive periods: stone fireplace, Dufour wallpapers from the early 19th century, and a staircase with wrought-iron balustrade.
