Château d'Olmet, 19th century manor in Vic-sur-Cère, France.

The castle features a square pavilion with two floors, three bays, and a steep four-sided roof in Louis XIII architectural style.

In 1266, the Olmet estate, known as fazenda d'Olmeto, belonged to R. de La Garde with allegiances to the lord of Vic at Carlat.

Martin Auguste Benech and his wife Adèle Carbonnel built this residence after establishing a successful dairy business in Paris.

Since 1972, the castle operates as a residential facility for disabled workers, providing housing and vocational training programs.

The nearby Notre-Dame des Croix chapel commemorates aviators who died in conflicts, established by the Jean Mermoz Foundation.
