Château de Lescure

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Lescure, standing on a mound overlooking the Brezons valley in Saint-Martin-sous-Vigouroux (Cantal), is one of the four oldest castles in the Cantal. Its rectangular 11th-century tower, crowned with machicolations and once accessible only by ladder, was partly destroyed during the Hundred Years' War and then restored in the 15th century with one storey fewer; a residential wing was added to it in the 17th century. Today the château offers bed-and-breakfast rooms and can also be rented in its entirety.
