Lord Davis Castle at Charbonnières-les-Vieilles was built in the late 19th century by Lord Mortimer Davis, a wealthy Englishman who had married a local heiress. The castle is a magnificent example of neoclassical style, with elegant facades, ornate interiors and a wrought iron gate that was exhibited at the 1878 World's Fair. The castle is surrounded by a park which offers panoramic views of the countryside and the neighboring volcanoes. The castle is only open to visitors by appointment. So be sure to contact the owners in advance if you want to see the interior of this remarkable monument.
