Château-Dauphin

Château-Dauphin is a medieval castle in the commune of Pontgibaud in the Puy-de-Dôme département of France.

The original construction was modified in the 15th century by Gilbert III Motier de La Fayette, who strengthened the defences and enlarged the keep.

The castle has been occupied since 1756 by the family of a King's musketeer, César I de Moré.

Château-Dauphin has been classified and declassified as monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture at various times since 1889.

It was finally classified in 1995, covering the castle itself, six towers, common lands, the ground, well and fountain.
