# Château fort de la Faye

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

Château fort de la Faye stands in Olmet (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: 14th century, 15th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In the commune of Olmet, in the Puy-de-Dôme department, the ruins of the château de la Faye occupy a fortified site dating back to the 14th century, built over the remains of an earlier military post. The quadrangular enclosure flanked by towers still includes a round tower and a north-east tower that once bore machicolations, of which only the moulded band remains. The residential buildings have almost entirely disappeared, apart from a doorway decorated with an ogee arch, but the successive building phases, from the 14th to the 17th century, can still be traced on site. The property, privately owned by the same family, has been undergoing restoration since the early 2000s.

**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.
