Château de Fourchaud stands in Besson (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Besson, in the Allier department, the château de Fourchaud preserves its 14th and 15th century remains in a small valley crossed by a stream. A keep, a west curtain wall with its original drawbridge gate, vaulted cellars and a two storey residence make up one of the best preserved feudal strongholds of the Bourbonnais region. Nearby stands the Petit Fourchaud, a second keep that once served as a watchtower.
