Château de Torsiac stands in Torsiac (Haute-Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In the Alagnon valley, in Haute-Loire, the château de Torsiac features a 14th-century keep that 19th-century alterations dressed up with ornamental machicolations and battlements. Around it stand a manor wing and three round turrets from the 17th century, along with a large tower added later at the western corner. The whole complex reflects centuries of successive changes, since a lord of Torsiac was first recorded in 1268.
