Château de Nassigny stands in Nassigny (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 16th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Nassigny Castle was built in the late 14th century as a quadrangular structure flanked by two polygonal towers. Originally dependent on the Saint-Denis abbey, it passed into private hands in 1570, the year a fire linked to the Wars of Religion partially destroyed it. Subsequent rebuilding gave the castle its present form. Its main features include a 16th-century spiral staircase, a monumental Gothic fireplace, a ceiling in the south drawing room, and 19th-century wall decorations depicting pastoral and floral scenes.

What to know

The castle has been registered as a historical monument since 1979, with protection covering facades, roofs, the spiral staircase, interior decoration elements on the ground floor, and the former dovecote.
19th-century restorations altered the interior, where painted canvases depicting landscapes and flowers remain visible.
