Château de Souvigny stands in Souvigny (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Souvigny, close to the Saint-Marc church, stand the remains of a castle that once belonged to the Dukes of Bourbon. Dating from the 15th century, the building is chiefly notable for its façade and roof, the only parts under historic monument protection. It appeals more to visitors curious about Bourbon heritage than to those seeking a large-scale château.
