Lord Davis Castle at Charbonnières-les-Vieilles was built in the late 19th century by Lord Mortimer Davis, a wealthy Englishman who had married a local heiress.

The castle is surrounded by a park which offers panoramic views of the countryside and the neighboring volcanoes. The castle is only open to visitors by appointment.
