Le château en bref
The Château de Selves, in the hamlet of La Vinzelle, a former Rouergue stronghold on the border with Auvergne, is a square main residence (logis) flanked by corner towers with machicolations, built in the 16th century and altered in the 17th. It retains its historic roof framework, period fireplaces and wood panelling, a chapel with a painted ceiling adorned with wall paintings, as well as a barn-cowshed and a chestnut-drying house (sécadou). Held by the Gausserand family and then by the Selves family, it passed at the end of the 17th century to the house of Cambefort by marriage, then to the Trédolat family, then by auction to a justice of the peace from Maurs, before being acquired by Julien Poujade in 1913; the Poujade family still owns it. The castle has been listed as a historic monument since 1992.
