Located on the bed of the Sioule, a tributary of the Allier, the village of Pontgibaud stands out for its many architectural remains in black stone from medieval times. A place where it is interesting to take the time to walk around to discover its historical remains!

Dauphin Castle

Highlight • Castle

A very well-preserved example of medieval military architecture. This castle was built in the 12th century by Robert Dauphin, Count of Auvergne, to defend the Sioule bridge and was enlarged in the 15th century by Gilbert III de LaFayette, Field Marshal of France. The keep and six towers are still preserved. The castle is inhabited by the descendants of the Moré de Pontgibaud family, who have owned it since 1756.
At the end of the 19th century, the interior was restored in a harmonious style by Count Caesar III.
