# Château du Marchidial

Champeix, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Château du Marchidial stands in Champeix (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: 12th century : 13th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a rocky spur above Champeix, the Marchidial castle survives only as ruins, set within gardens restored by local volunteers. The site preserves traces of a medieval stronghold that served as a residence of the dauphins of Auvergne in the 13th century, alongside a plain Romanesque church dating from the 12th century, later given a clock tower in the 18th century. Visitors come for the combination of fortification remains, the view over the village, and the former castle chapel turned parish church.

**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.
