Origin and history
The Neubourg Castle, located in Riorges in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, is a historical monument dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Its access is via a gate decorated with an entrance pavilion, leading to a courtyard closed by communes. Inside, the hall features studded decorations, while the doors display carved patterns depicting hunting scenes. The dining room retains a modular wallpaper dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, reflecting the refinement of the era.
At the end of the 19th century, an ambitious project aimed at creating a spinning plant in the park, operated by a dual-purpose hydraulic system, both agricultural and ornamental. This system, still partially visible today, made it possible to irrigate the land, to feed the gardens in cascades and to water the beds. The park itself consists of a regular garden below the castle terrace, while the rest of the property is organized according to geometrical elements. The historical, still functional bib illustrates the ingenuity of the hydraulic arrangements of the time.
The castle and its outbuildings, including facades, roofs, hall, living room, dining room, communes, entrance pavilion, gate and park with its bief, were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 30 November 2007. This architectural and landscaped ensemble reflects both the taste for sophisticated interior decorations and the harmonious integration of industrial activities in an aristocratic setting, characteristic of the 19th and 20th centuries.
