Château d'Escorolles stands in Cheylade (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Escorolles castle stands in the commune of Cheylade, in the Cantal department. Its origins go back to the 13th century, though the building seen today largely dates from a reconstruction begun around 1424, after the original structure was destroyed by the English. A 15th century tower adjoins an 18th century residence, later altered over the following centuries. Left empty for more than twenty years, the property was bought in 2015 by a private owner who undertook its restoration.
