The château des Chevennes stands in Chapeau, in the Allier department, on a former feudal mound still surrounded by water filled moats. Built in the late 17th century, it is notable for its brick gatehouse with diamond patterned decoration, flanked by two pavilions, which opens onto a courtyard reached by a bridge. The complex, extended in the 19th century with outbuildings and farm structures, reflects the traditional Bourbonnais style of building.
