To make a day of it

Château de Selves stands in Conques-en-Rouergue (Aveyron), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, first half of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In La Vinzelle, a hamlet of Conques-en-Rouergue, the Selves castle displays its square 16th-century main building, flanked by corner towers, two of which have retained their original defensive features. The southeast tower still bears a machicolation and its early roof, while the southwest tower has kept its corbels. The protected ensemble also includes a chapel dated 1625, a barn-stable and a chestnut-drying shed, remnants of the farming life that surrounded the manor.
