Origin and history

The Blanzat Castle is a building located in the commune of Chareil-Cintrat, in the department of Allier, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is located at the southern end of the commune, on the left bank of the Bouble River. This monument consists of a complete set including a castle, a house farm, a new castle and a garden with its outbuildings, reflecting periods of construction from the 15th and 16th centuries until the 18th and 19th centuries.

In the French Revolution, the estate of Blaanzat, then owned by the Marquis d'Ussel, was confiscated and sold as a national property. It is acquired by Claude Raynaud, who also becomes owner of the nearby castle of La Rivière. This change of ownership marks a transition in the history of the estate, which nevertheless retains its architectural and historical character.

Blaanzat Castle is listed as historical monuments by order of 11 October 2004. This protection covers the entire estate, including the farm of the Brushes, the old castle (known as Petit Blanzat), the new castle, its communes, as well as the park with its fences and basins. This official recognition underscores the heritage importance of the whole, both for its architecture and its history.
