Perched on a knoll above the Brezons valley, the château de Lescure pairs a medieval keep topped with machicolations with a residential wing added in the 17th and 18th centuries. The tower, originally built in the 11th century and partly destroyed during the Hundred Years' War, was rebuilt in the 15th century with one less storey, giving it its present shape. The estate passed through several noble families of the Cantal region, including the Brezons, the Gasc and later the Bonnafos de Bélinay.
