Le château en bref
On a hill overlooking the village of Paulhac, near Brioude, the château is built around a circular keep dating from the 12th and 13th centuries. In the 15th century, two perpendicular wings were added to it, giving the complex its present layout, which was further altered in the 17th and 18th centuries. At the end of the 19th century, the Cassagnes de Miramon family had the residence remodelled in a Neo-Gothic style under the direction of the architect Honoré Vianne. The château was later devastated by a fire; since 2016, with the reconstruction of its roof, it has been undergoing a complete restoration aimed at reopening it to the public. It has been listed in its entirety as a monument historique since 11 October 2004, including its terraces, outbuildings, garden and interior decoration; this listing replaced a partial protection dating from 1974. The former castle chapel, now the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, has enjoyed separate protection since 1980.
