Château du Broc stands in Le Broc (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 14th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The Château du Broc still stands at the heart of the village as a medieval ruin, remnant of a former stronghold that once guarded the border between the County and the Dauphiné of Auvergne. Its 13th century keep and the north and south curtain walls, altered in the 17th century with the addition of a southern dwelling, make up what survives today. Listed as a historic monument, the structure retains the outline of a defensive fortress despite centuries of division and change.
