Val Castle, locally known as Château de Val, is situated near the village of Lanobre, north of the town of Bort-les-Orgues in the Auvergne region in France.

The castle lies on a small peninsula in an artificial lake. The lake is a reservoir for the Bort-les-Orgues dam which was build in 1951. The castle was built in the 15th century on the remains of a former fortress on the same site. The fortress had been build there in the 13th century.

It's well worth a visit. It's in great surroundings and beautifully kept.
