60 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 154 castles we list in Puy-de-Dôme, these 60 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 60 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 56 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Mirabel (Mirabel Castle) (with a restaurant), Château d'Effiat (Effiat Castle) (open to visitors), Château d'Opme (Opme Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Montmorin (Montmorin Castle) (209 reviews) and Château de Maulmont (Maulmont Castle) (you can stay the night).

14 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 12 and the prices of 10 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 Renaissance, with 60 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
