In Vernusse, in the Allier department, the château de Puy-Guillon stands on a terrace above the valley of the Puy-Guillon stream. Its square keep and towers recall the medieval origins of the building, erected in the 15th century and later extended by a 17th-century wing facing the formal gardens. Outbuildings and connecting wings, added over the following centuries up to around 1870, form a coherent set around the courtyard and lower yard.
