At the border of Cantal and Aveyron, overlooking the valley of Goul, a castle from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance stands on a 15-hectare site. Established in the center of its territory and isolated in a completely preserved environment free from any nuisance, the fully classified historical monument rises above the valley that marks the historical boundary between Haute-Auvergne and Rouergue. The main access is from the eastern side where an ancient drawbridge likely once stood. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages when the site was merely a keep surrounded by a wall of five to seven defensive towers. Today, only the western keep, a second tower raised in the 15th century to the east, and one truncated defensive tower remain, surrounded by terraces and open spaces. The central living quarters, built during the Renaissance between the two square towers, feature numerous bays with mullioned windows on its southern façade and a sculptural decor around the main entrance door. An additional wing was added to the north in the 18th century. Inside, the layout of the rooms has not been altered. In addition to a monumental Italian-style staircase, the ground floor consists of an old low hall that now serves as a dining room, a small television lounge, two kitchens – the original one and a more recent one – as well as access to the cellars and a garage. The first floor contains an old lordly room, a contiguous small lounge, two bedrooms, and a shower room with toilets. Access to the 18th-century section leads to a succession of three bedrooms with water points, a bathroom, and separate toilets. The second floor includes a spacious room known as 'the Queen's room', an office, two additional bedrooms, and a shower room with toilets. A landing passage leads to a shower room and to the attic of the 18th-century section. The third floor comprises an exhibition room, followed by a spare bedroom, former service rooms, and an interior pigeon house. A small staircase then leads to the loft with a large hall under the framework and two chimneys. This precedes a chapel and the upper parts of the two towers. A caretaker's house and a swimming pool are also located on the estate.
