Parc du château du Veuillin stands in Apremont-sur-Allier (Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: milieu 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
North of Apremont-sur-Allier, the park of the Château du Veuillin surrounds a former fortified house dating from the 15th century, enlarged in the 18th century and reworked in the 19th. What stands out today is the layout created by landscape designer Paul de Choulot: paths radiating star-like toward the house or vanishing into the woods, arranged to frame a sequence of natural views using mostly local plants. It is best experienced as a series of landscape scenes rather than a formal garden.
