Château Cocu stands in Auzat-la-Combelle (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In the village of Auzat-la-Combelle, in the Puy-de-Dôme region, the ruins of Cocu castle still show round towers and sections of their medieval perimeter wall. Built in the 13th century, the castle was inhabited until around 1840, which explains why its ruined state is comparatively recent. Visitors come for the defensive architecture, originally covered in rendering according to research by Nicolas Mengus, and for the atmosphere of abandonment. The site remains privately owned.
