Twelfth-century castle of the bishops of Clermont: a large enclosure flanked by 19 round towers surround a small occupying the culmination of a basaltic hill.
Destroyed in 1634 by order of Richelieu and care of the Commissioner Voyer d'Argenson, several parties were still in good shape in 1732 with the exception of the very center of the second enclosure.
Largest fortress consists of three regional forums, and twenty rounds, including the four main still support the center speaker.
The ruins date mainly from the thirteenth and fourteenth century.
The village houses are mostly built from stones recovered from the castle.
