13th-Century Medieval Fortress – Listed Historic Monument (MH / ISMH) Overlooking the fertile plains of Limagne and the foothills of the Livradois, east of Clermont-Ferrand and close to Billom, the Château de Mauzun rises from a basalt volcanic outcrop, a timeless sentinel of Auvergne’s history. Originally a fortified motte that became one of the principal strongholds of the Counts of Auvergne as early as the 10th century, Mauzun fully entered the history of France in the early 13th century. In 1210, King Philip II of France annexed Auvergne to the Kingdom of France and placed Mauzun under the authority of the Bishops of Clermont, contributing to its strategic development and prominence. Built according to the principles of the greatest medieval fortresses, Mauzun is remarkable for its exceptional scale: nearly 900 metres of ramparts protecting a vast lower bailey of approximately 3 hectares; an intermediate enceinte punctuated by 16 towers enclosing the outer courtyard; and a monumental keep measuring 50 metres on each side, flanked by four corner towers linked by massive curtain walls, with several levels of wall walks. In the 16th century, the fortress was enhanced with elements of comfort, notably a northern curtain wall opened with large sculpted windows, offering spectacular panoramic views. For almost four centuries, Mauzun stood as one of the symbols of power in Auvergne and remained a coveted site during every period of unrest. Gradually abandoned and partially dismantled, the château regained its unified ownership in the 19th century. In the 20th century, an initial restoration programme was undertaken, particularly the Captaincy Tower, converted into residential accommodation. Further works were resumed in the 21st century and remain to be completed. Today, Mauzun stands as an open-air lesson in medieval military architecture, a site of rare evocative power. Underground passages, defensive systems, a mysterious cistern, and its bold setting atop an ancient volcano continue to inspire research, reflection, and discovery. More than a real estate project, the Château de Mauzun is a heritage to be preserved — a place to be understood and respected. It is intended for a purchaser driven by a passion for history and architecture, willing to commit to a long-term vision in the service of preservation and transmission.

Gates open on to a large courtyard which, set in the middle of an estate spanning 13 continuous hectares of woods and meadows, is bordered by all of the buildings. The limits are visible, marked by tall trees forming a natural perimeter wall. Destroyed by fire in 1594 during the Holy League Wars, the chateau was rebuilt immediately afterwards. Restored, it still currently features stone mascarons representing people on the west facade of the large interior courtyard. Jeanne-Chézard-de-Matel, founder of the Order of the Incarnate Word, was born here. The Poulot family inherited the property at the end of the 19th century.
