# Château de Mauzun

Mauzun, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Château de Mauzun stands in Mauzun (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: first half of the 13th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On an extinct volcano overlooking the village of Mauzun, in the Puy-de-Dôme, stand the remains of a fortress built in the 13th century by the bishops of Clermont. The scale is striking: three concentric lines of walls, around fifteen round towers and a square keep flanked by four massive towers, all built from the volcano's own black stone. It is a site of open-air ruins, shaped by centuries of sieges, dismantling and repeated rescue efforts.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
