Château de La Rivière stands in Chareil-Cintrat (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Chareil-Cintrat, in the Allier department, the château de La Rivière keeps the austere profile of a late medieval stronghold, marked by the steep pavilion roof rising above its buildings. Its main draw is the great hall, where a flamboyant Gothic fireplace over three metres high displays the arms of the Chareil family. The whole complex, made up of a main residence, a gate tower and outbuildings arranged around a wide courtyard, still reads as a medieval fortified house reworked in the 15th century.
