Origin and history

The Château du Petit Luçay is a building located in the commune of Agonges, in the department of Allier, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is located in the far west of the communal territory, near the border with Bourbon-l-l-Archambault. This geographical positioning suggests a historical role linked to the local dynamics between these two municipalities.

The first attested mention of the castle dates back to 1382, when the knight Pierre de Giac, lord of Jozerand near Combronde, held him in fief. This reference reveals its anchoring in the bourbon feudal network from the end of the 14th century. In 1503 Charles Percheron became its owner and declared his house and mansion of Lussay to the Duchess of Bourbon, confirming his status as seigneurial residence.

In the 18th century, in 1779, the estate returned to the lords of La Pommeraie by inheritance. These changes of ownership reflect the changes of the local noble families and their influence on the territory. Although little documented, this castle embodies the history of the petty seigneuries of Bourbonnais, between family alliances and feudal dependencies.
