Château de La Moissétie

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de La Moissétie, in Aurillac (Cantal), takes its name from the Moisset (or Moysset) family, hereditary viguiers of the Jordanne valley on behalf of the Abbot of Aurillac, who owned it from the 13th to the end of the 15th century. Raymond II de Moysset, born around 1280, is said to have been its founder. The estate passed in 1504 to the La Roque family through the marriage of Antoinette de Moysset to Guillaume de La Roque, and was then acquired by the Brunon family, who kept it until the end of the 20th century. The old rectangular main building is flanked by a round corner tower added in the 19th century. Now open to the public, the château offers bed and breakfast rooms and augmented-reality tours.
