Château d'Aulteribe stands in Sermentizon (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 17th century, 19th century). Adult admission costs 7 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 4, 2026.

Set on the lower slopes of the Livradois hills, Aulteribe castle still looks like a 15th century stronghold, though its appearance was reshaped in the 19th century in a romantic style. The de Pierre family, who owned it until 1954, filled it with art and furniture collections later bequeathed to the state. A visit shows the interior of a collector's home rather than a plain period setting, with a grand staircase and facades mixing medieval features with neo-Renaissance taste.
