Château de Niossel

En un regard

Le château en bref

Niossel, near Roquevieille (Marmanhac, Cantal), is a former castle and lordship perched above the Oyez valley, now in ruins. A survey of 1724 describes a courtyard with two gateways, a hexagonal tower, a round tower with a spiral staircase, a chapel, terraces and outbuildings; its construction is said to date back to the early 15th century. Jean de Niossel is mentioned in 1329, Raymond de Caissac became lord in 1479, then the estate passed to the La Roque and Combefort families, and in 1723 to the Colinet family.
