Put Chateau in the title & more people look - however this is more or less a ruin - a big ruin with lots of out buildings about 300 meters from some tower blocks & 100 from a residential area so I imagine the local Kids know all about it so giving it it's real name won't hasten it's demise. Unusually it's not tagged like most French ruins/ derelicts. I got here before dawn & stumbled about in the green house area/ cellars as the light started to appear. Best time of day for this kind of property......
No idea what this was-

Won't post for a while now as I'm back into the ghost hunting & they aren't derelicts......
 
Going by the features in the stone work the building looks like it was grand in its day. In picture 25 it looks like there was a wide staircase at one time. But dereliction has taken over.
 
the Château de Chabassiere was the largest depot of royal and imperial furniture in the coffers, including the throne of Napoleon I, until March 1946
 
Nope - it was pine - oak maybe but first step bent & looking at all the holes in the others I lived to damage myself another day.......
