Château d'Alleuze

The Château d'Alleuze is a ruined castle situated in the commune of Alleuze, in the Cantal département of France.

To avoid troubles from any Garlan successors, the inhabitants of Saint-Flour burned down the castle in 1405.

Monseigneur De la Tour, owner of the castle, was very upset with this gesture, and obliged the Sanflorains to rebuild it on the original plan.

[2] The castle is built on a square plan, with round towers in each corner, characteristic of the 14th century.

[3] Today, the edifice is maintained as a ruin and has been listed, along with the chapel, since 1927 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
