A veritable fortress dating from the 10th century, the Château de Tournoël only really began to take on its modern look from 1200.

Classified as historical monuments, the castle can be visited (opening dates to be checked on the official site).

This fortified castle built during the 9th and 10th centuries
on a rocky peak at an altitude of 600 meters in
overlooking the plain of Limagne. He was watching
the surroundings of the city of Riom, commercial capital
and judicial office of Basse-Auvergne, as well as the abbey
royal of Mozac. The position of isolation and overhang
gave the castle its reputation as a building
impregnable.
The foundations of this fortress extend over 75m
long and 25m wide.
Major restoration work is being carried out
since 2000.
