Château du Châtelard stands in Ébreuil (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
A few kilometres from Ébreuil, in the Allier department, the Châtelard castle stands with its mixed towers and façades amid a large wooded estate crossed by the Cèpe stream. Built in the 14th century on earlier foundations, it still shows a medieval round tower and a section of rampart walk, a chapel dated 1582, and a façade largely rebuilt in the 19th century. King Charles VII stayed here in the 15th century, and the estate has belonged to the same family since 1761.
