To make a day of it
Manoir, ou château stands in Apchat (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: 15th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Apchat, in the Puy-de-Dôme department, stands a 15th century manor built around a keep that once belonged to the dukes of Mercœur. Three sections of buildings surround a courtyard closed by a gateway, and the defensive character of the old keep is still visible, with its heavy buttress and its stair turret topped with bretèches. An 18th century porch, added to link the keep with the outbuildings, points to a later shift toward domestic use.
