Palais abbatial stands in Ebreuil (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). No visits are on record for this building.

In Ébreuil, in the Allier department, the palais abbatial stands next to the well-known Carolingian church of Saint-Léger, though it belongs to a different era altogether: the late 18th century, when the last commendatory abbot had this neoclassical residence built. The south façade draws attention with its Tuscan colonnade in volcanic stone, supporting a wrought-iron balcony above. Inside, the main drawing room retains Louis XVI-style stucco work, with medallions and trompe-l'œil frames set between fluted pilasters. The garden and its pavilion round out the protected ensemble.

What to know

The palais abbatial dates from the last quarter of the 18th century and has been a listed historic monument since 2010.
The protection covers the entire building, its interior decoration (wrought-iron staircase, stucco salon) and the garden with its pavilion.
No opening hours or admission fees are given here, so it is worth checking locally before visiting.
The building stands right next to the Saint-Léger abbey church, making it easy to see both on the same visit.
