Neuville Castle, built between 1852 and 1857 in Villefranche-d'Allier, preserves a former parish church that became private property when the castle was constructed. This small sanctuary features a single nave ending in a hemispherical apse, completed on the north side by a funeral chapel and a circular vestry. The interior displays 19th-century painted decoration, while the west façade imitates Romanesque architecture with a round-arched doorway framed by two smooth columns with capitals.
