DONJON MÉDIÉVAL DE MONTPEYROUX
A cylindrical keep was built to protect the village and the neighboring towns from attacks.
In 1212, when the fief of Montpeyroux was attached to the county of Auvergne following a gift from Philippe-Auguste, a cylindrical keep was built in order to protect the village and the neighboring villages from attacks. From the top of its 33 m, this tower was the strong point of the fortress. An inseparable element of the village which is classified among the Most Beautiful Villages of France, inhabitants and visitors have the chance to access it to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view.
