Of the 116 castles we list in Haute-Loire, these 79 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 79 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 66 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Polignac (Polignac Castle) (open to visitors), Château d'Arlempdes (Arlempdes Castle) (with a restaurant), Château de Rochebaron (Rochebaron Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Chalencon (Chalencon Castle) (529 reviews) and Château de Domeyrat (Domeyrat Castle) (open to visitors).

11 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 10 and the prices of 5 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 18 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 79 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
