Tips from the Community
The castle is located in a park on the southwestern edge of the town of Jozerand, west of the main street which separates it from the town center (church, town hall). It overlooks the valley of the Coinches stream, a tributary of the Morge. From the castle, situated on the first heights of the Auvergne Combraille, the view extends widely to the south, from the Chaîne des Puys on the right to the Limagne plain on the left.

A very well-preserved example of medieval military architecture. This castle was built in the 12th century by Robert Dauphin, Count of Auvergne, to defend the Sioule bridge and was enlarged in the 15th century by Gilbert III de LaFayette, Field Marshal of France. The keep and six towers are still preserved. The castle is inhabited by the descendants of the Moré de Pontgibaud family, who have owned it since 1756. At the end of the 19th century, the interior was restored in a harmonious style by Count Caesar III. Website: http://www.chateaudauphin.com
