Château de Montmoirat stands in Autrac (Haute-Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Autrac, in the Haute-Loire department, the Montmoirat estate stands on a site known since the 13th century, though most of what can be seen today dates from 1635. The property, arranged around an open courtyard, combines a former fortified house with its farm buildings: a barn, a stable, a sheepfold and a dwelling. It reads less as a grand residence than as a coherent piece of 17th-century rural architecture, and the whole complex is listed as a historic monument.
