To make a day of it

Château de Neuville stands in Villefranche-d'Allier (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 14th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

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.

  • The castle remains private property with no documented public access.
