To make a day of it

Château d'Estresses stands in Paulhenc (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages, milieu 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the commune of Paulhenc, in the Haute Auvergne region, the château d'Estresses brings together several centuries of building work in a single structure. Its oldest core, a square keep from the 12th or 13th century, was gradually absorbed into a fortified house and later joined to a round-towered dwelling by an 18th-century wing. Visitors can see barrel-vaulted rooms, remnants of 17th-century wall paintings and 19th-century wood panelling in the living quarters.
