Château de Lasalle stands in Vic-sur-Cère (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 15th century, fourth quarter of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The Château de Lasalle is a fortified house built at the end of the 15th century in Vic-sur-Cère, in the Cantal region of France. Its ground floor, covered by a pointed barrel vault, still bears painted geometric motifs, while the upper floor retains a beamed ceiling painted with plant-inspired patterns and an ornate hooded fireplace. Altered around the end of the 16th century and later deprived of one or more towers during the 18th century, the building now stands alongside its farmhouse and outbuildings dating from the 18th to 20th centuries, roofed in schist and slate.
