Château de la Chezotte. In the commune of Ahun, this small moated château is nestled in an English-style park. Fronted by a fortified porch near a chapel, it remains a magnificent example of an extremely well-preserved medieval ensemble. Its fortifications are what make it so special. Built in the 15th century, its owner, Jacques de La Ville, Treasurer of La Marche, wanted to make it a symbol of his power! Built on a cellar, the château is protected by two round towers and a square tower on the park side. On the courtyard side, the square tower houses a spiral staircase serving the three floors. The 4-hectare park is cool under the trees, some of which are over a hundred years old and feature a variety of species. The Félinas stream meanders through the park, and a moat surrounds the building, adding to its charm. Guided tours depart at 2.30pm, 4pm and 5.30pm.
