# Château de Saint-Ilpize

Saint-Ilpize, Haute-Loire, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Château de Saint-Ilpize stands in Saint-Ilpize (Haute-Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 11th century, 12th century, 14th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set on a basalt outcrop shaped by an extinct volcano above the Allier gorges, Saint-Ilpize castle preserves the remains of an 11th-century stronghold built by the Dauphins of Auvergne. Visitors can walk through a roofless ruin of nested walls, bastions and a chapel topped by a square bell tower. The site is open to wander freely, valued as much for its weathered stonework as for the view over the river below.

**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.
