I visited this castle in 1991.

Auzers Castle, locally known as Château d'Auzers, lies in the village of Auzers, north east of the town of Mauriac in the Auvergne region in France. The following information is taken from a folder about the castle.

The castle has been inhabited by the same family since the 15th century. You will be welcomed into a lovely residence where you can visit the drawing rooms and view the Regency furniture, a vaulted room with Auvergnat furniture, monumental fireplaces, a 16th century oratory and polychrome murals, numerous portraits and interesting furniture from the Empire period presented by Napoleon to Jean-Louis d'Auzers.

The castle was built between 1470 and 1510 and is very characteristic of the architecture of the Haute Auvergne. It has kept to this day all the attributes of a fortress: tower, rampart-walk and lookout turrets.
