# Château de Mercœur

Blesle, Haute-Loire, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Château de Mercœur stands in Blesle (Haute-Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century). No visits are on record for this building.

In Blesle, the tower known as the Vingt Angles still overlooks the remains of the former castle of the lords of Mercœur. This rectangular keep, 26 metres high and built in the early 13th century, stands out for its eight corner buttresses and machicolations carried on paired arches. Inside, a staircase set within the thickness of the walls connects the vaulted levels, evidence of medieval military architecture that has survived largely unchanged.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
