Origin and history

The Château de Teillères, located in Saint-Galmier in the Loire department, is a monument dating back to the 2nd quarter of the 14th century, with major transformations in the 17th century. This site, also known as Manoir de Teillères, reflects a double architectural influence: medieval for its foundations and classical for its subsequent developments. Its listing as Historic Monuments by order of 24 October 1929 underscores its heritage value, although available sources do not specify the exact reasons for this protection or the details of its historic owners.

The location of the castle, in the Allée du Clos Teillères, is documented with satisfactory accuracy (note 7/10), but the accessible archives do not reveal its original use or its precise role in local history. The information available is limited to its status as a protected monument and its administrative address, linked to the commune of Saint-Galmier (code Insee 42222) in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rental, accommodation), or on any key characters or events associated with it.

The sources cited (Monumentum, internal data) focus on technical elements: construction periods, GPS coordinates, and legal status. The lack of details on its social or military history, common for secondary monuments, contrasts with its official recognition. This gap invites further research to understand its importance in the historical landscape of the Loire, between Saint-Étienne and the Forez mountains.
