Sémelay: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Culture and History
Sémelay is initially presented here through its striking buildings. From the 12th century until the end of the 15th century, the Château de la Bussière was a fortified manor house belonging to the Lords of La Bussière. Its main building was constructed in the 15th century and has a staircase tower; the left wing and the outbuildings were added in the 19th century. The grounds include a courtyard, a park, outbuildings and agricultural auxiliary buildings.
The Church of Saint-Pierre in Sémelay has been classified as a Monument historique since 1889 and is one of the Cluniac sites. It is known for its Romanesque architecture and approximately forty remarkable carved capitals. Its construction may date back to 1076, when Sémelay was affiliated with the Abbey of Cluny.
