Château de La Tour-Maubourg stands in Saint-Maurice-de-Lignon (Haute-Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 15th century, 16th century, second half of the 18th century, fourth quarter of the 19th century). No visits are on record for this building.

In the Haute-Loire department, between Le Puy-en-Velay and Saint-Étienne, La Tour-Maubourg castle sits within a large wooded estate that still holds a medieval tower, an orangery and an ice house, remnants of an earlier castle destroyed during the Revolution. The present building, with four wings arranged around a rectangular courtyard, dates from the very early 19th century and takes its name from the family who had it rebuilt. Inside, visitors can see the library, the chapel and, upstairs, several state rooms including one said to have been used by Lafayette. An English-style park of several dozen hectares, planted with centuries-old trees, surrounds the estate.

What to know

The castle is a listed historic monument, the protection covering the façades, the chapel, the library, three upstairs bedrooms and the remains of the earlier building.
The estate's origins go back in part to the 12th century, though the buildings seen today mostly date from the early 19th century.
No opening hours or admission fees are given here, so it is worth checking directly with the site before visiting.
The park covers several dozen hectares and includes notable old trees, best explored on foot.
