To make a day of it
Château de la Cheyrelle stands in Dienne (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 19th century, first quarter of the 20th century). Adult admission costs 12 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In the village of Dienne, on the slopes of the Cantal volcano, this château owes its reputation to a renovation carried out at the start of the 20th century by Belgian architect Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, working with René Dulong. Between 1903 and 1905 they reworked both the interior and exterior of a building first erected in 1867 and enlarged in 1884, applying Art Nouveau principles of clarity and function. What makes a visit worthwhile is how rare the outcome is: one of the few Art Nouveau ensembles to have kept its original furniture, with its spare, simple lines, intact.
