Château de la Barge stands in Courpière (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: 13th century, 16th century, 17th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Close to Courpière, the château de la Barge still shows the footprint of a 13th century stronghold, moats included, later softened by Italianate decoration and gardens. Visitors find terraces with arcades, a chapel with 16th and 17th century stained glass, and a 40-hectare park holding three old ponds and a Japanese garden. Guided tours cover the grounds, gardens and chapel, but the interior of the château itself is not open to visitors.

What to know

Only the park, gardens and chapel can be visited, the interior of the château is not open to the public.
Guided tours run in summer, Monday to Friday, with several time slots in the afternoon.
Groups can arrange visits by appointment year round, including during Heritage Days and garden events.
The grounds include shaded paths and ponds, so comfortable outdoor footwear is advisable.
The château is a listed historic monument, with protection covering the terraces, chapel, moats and the three garden ponds.
