In Souvigny, in the Allier department, the Château de la Viveyre retains the character of a 15th century seigneurial residence, standing alone in the countryside and surrounded by its water filled moat. Two of the original four round towers still stand, fitted with gun loops from the Wars of Religion, while a square gatehouse tower converted into a dovecote marks the entrance to the courtyard.
