En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château des Martinanches, in Saint-Dier-d'Auvergne (Puy-de-Dôme), was built in 1070 by the comtours d'Apchon family along the route of an ancient Roman road linking Clermont-Ferrand to Le Puy-en-Velay. A true stronghold, it served as an armoury for the fiefs of Boissonnelle, Montboissier and Mauzun. The rectangular main building, flanked by corner towers and extended by a north wing, is surrounded by wide moats crossed by two bridges. The château is partially classified and partially registered as a monument historique.
