The castle, which once dominated the Dordogne valley from a rocky outcrop, has stood since 1952 on a headland that juts out into the Barrage de Bort-les-Orgues reservoir. The original character of the castle can only be guessed at when the water level is low. The multi-storey building is surrounded by five towers of roughly the same thickness and one thinner one, each with overhangs and conical roofs. The individual floors are connected by a spiral staircase in the vestibule. The inner courtyard was originally roofless. The first floor consists of three large rooms with decorated fireplaces from the mid-19th century and various furniture. An art exhibition with works by painters, mostly from the region, takes place every year on the second floor. The artistically crafted roof trusses of the towers can be seen from the battlement on the top floor. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Val

La Tour d'Auvergne was once an impregnable fortress belonging to the house of La Tour d'Auvergne and whose castle was built on an ancient Roman tower. The castle has since given way to a peaceful village built on an ancient basalt flow, whose organs can be seen near the church. The Tour d'Auvergne is also under the protection of Notre-Dame de Natzy which overlooks the surrounding area a short distance from the village.
