A small rural village, Châtelus was founded by the Gauls. Over the ages, it became a significant village since it was located on the important Roman road linking Cusset (Allier) to Marcigny (Loire). It houses a castle, later destroyed by the violent Wars of Religion.
Today, the town maintains a museum dedicated to the 19th century school, including multiple documents and furniture dating from 1830. The museum is open summer afternoons, from Thursday to Saturday.
