History

Valinches, a place steeped in history…

  • 1299

    Until 1290 the Valenches lands (historical spelling) belonged to the immense seigneury of Saint-Bonnet and served as a lookout post, monitoring the road from Montbrison to Saint-Bonnet (part of the St-Jacques-de-Compostelle road) and the Valinches stream.
    In 1299, the Count of Forez divided up the seigneurial land on which several families settled, including the d’Assier family who lived in the village of Valenches and became the owners of the entire estate in the18th century.

  • 1840

    The Domaine was completely rebuilt by the d’Assier family

    Only the first house, dating from the 15th century, has been preserved together with the 17th century boundaries (1738) and the fountain next to the dovecote tower, estimated to be from the 12th century.
    It was at this time that the current road (D5) was built. The Domaine was then at its peak, very extensive and very well managed, making it an incomparable domaine in the region.

  • 1843

    The Château was built in 1843 by two brothers: Pierre and Joseph d’Assier

    ‘Poivrières’ (corner towers) were added to the Château, together with the basement and the chapel in 1868. Two mills (one of which was for rapeseed) downstream of the Château were then destroyed.
    The d’Assiers were therefore among the first lords of Valinches, but also the first to reside there, which makes them the historic family of the domaine
    In the absence of any direct heirs bearing the name d’Assier, the Valinches lands were transferred to Josephine de Sylvestre, cousin of the last d’Assier and wife of the Count of Chavagnac. The domaine remained the property of the Chavagnac family until 2014.

  • 2014

    The Domaine was taken over by Catherine and Gérald Pietroy who took on the restoration of the large room in the old stables. The Domaine began to host its first weddings.

  • 2019

    Muriel and Bruno Faure fell in love with this magical site, purchasing it in February 2020. They started restoration work on a large section of the buildings (2,500 m2) including the Château (1,100 m2) in order to create a hotel, a restaurant and to develop new reception areas and offer numerous activities – making the Domaine et Château de Valinches an exceptional reception site in the Loire.
