In Pontgibaud, in the Puy-de-Dôme, Château-Dauphin stands with its twin keep on a volcanic lava flow, a remnant of a fortress founded in the late 12th century. The medieval wall still holds six of its original seven towers, while the interior, restored in the 19th century in a neo-medieval style, displays period woodwork, paintings and ironwork. The estate also includes a terraced kitchen garden dating from the 16th century, mentioned by Montaigne, along with a museum devoted to the local silver mines.
