The château de la Borie is a fortified house built in the 15th century in Chenerailles, Haute-Loire. Erected after the Hundred Years' War to defend against English raids and bands of mercenaries, it retains the defensive architecture typical of its period: a square main block dominated by a massive stair tower, flanked by machicolated bretèches and corner defensive structures. Later modifications in the 16th century did not diminish its character as a regional stronghold.
