About Château des Bruneaux
The Château des Bruneaux is a castle located in the town of Firminy, in the department of Loire in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. It was built in the 18th century by the Bruneaux family, who were prominent in the area. The castle has a rectangular plan with four towers at the corners, and is surrounded by a moat. The façade features a central pediment and a balcony supported by columns. The castle was later used as a hospital during World War II and then as a social housing complex. It is now abandoned and in a state of disrepair.
