Château d'Anterroches, Medieval castle in Murat, France
The rectangular fortress features a central square keep with machicolations, round towers, and defensive walls topped with schist roofs at the valley entrance.
Originally constructed as a fortified farm in the 13th century, the castle underwent major additions in the 15th century with the construction of its main tower.
The castle gained recognition through Lieutenant General Alexandre d'Anteroche, who led the French infantry at the Battle of Fontenoy in 1745.
The castle stands at the entrance of Murat from Laveissière, making it visible from the road below, though internal visits are not available.
Jean de Traverse acquired the estate in 1478 and adopted the name Anterroches, establishing a lineage connected to King Louis XI's physician.
