En un regard
Le château en bref
The château des Roches de Coffins lies in the commune of Saint-Ours (Puy-de-Dôme), about 4 km south-east of the village centre, on the southern side of the D941. The remains of a 15th-century quadrangular curtain wall with circular corner towers survive, and two of these towers still adjoin a residence that was heavily remodelled in the 19th century. The fief is associated with Hugues de Coffins (1160), then with the Le Turc de Meyronne family (1222, 1344) and the Aymé family, established from 1362 with Pierre Aymé, canon of Clermont, who held the lordship until 1756. Privately owned, not open to visitors.
