Saint-Diéry Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Saint-Diéry Castle (Puy-de-Dôme) stands on a basalt esplanade, near an 11th-century chapel and a feudal motte. The present building dates from the 13th or 14th century and retains a Romanesque keep at the south-east corner, with three vaulted storeys and a vaulted cistern on the ground floor. Occupied by routiers in the 14th century, it received Directoire-period panelling and wallpapers in the 18th century; its stables date from 1778. The chapel is listed (15 January 1903), and the remainder is partially listed (28 July 1998).
