Château de Bien-Assis, Medieval castle in the Carmes district of Clermont-Ferrand, France.
The Château de Bien-Assis featured a main building with six windows and two large pavilions, situated near the Chanturgue slopes.
Built around 1450, the castle first appeared in Guillaume Revel's armorial, depicting a view of Clermont behind its ramparts.
Philosopher Blaise Pascal resided in this castle owned by his brother-in-law Florin Périer, where he wrote parts of his philosophical works.
Michelin purchased the property in 1912 and demolished it in 1914 to construct the Carmes factory on the site.
The original manuscripts of Pascal's Pensées were stored in this castle for fifty years by his sister Gilberte Périer.
