To make a day of it

Château de Quinssat stands in Abrest (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Set on the heights of Abrest, overlooking the meandering Allier river, the château de Quinssat preserves the remains of a 14th century fortified house: a three storey square tower attached to a residential wing. Mullioned windows from the 16th century point to a later restoration campaign. The modest structure combines a main wing flanked by two unequal square corner towers.
