Château du Max

The castle stands in the center of an enclosed courtyard surrounded by water-filled moats, featuring a round tower and main residence from the 15th century.

First mentioned in the 13th century under the Dukes of Bourbon, the castle passed to the Rolland brothers before Jacques de Gouzolles acquired it in 1528.

A commemorative chapel was built by Jacques de Gouzolles' nephew following his uncle's mysterious disappearance in the 16th century.

Visitors can participate in escape games, treasure hunts, and murder mystery events organized by the Friends of Château du Max association.

The interior preserves a medieval kitchen with a vaulted ceiling supported by massive columns and a main hall with a monumental fireplace.
