The ruins of Domeyrat (2016)

The castle of Domeyrat in Auvergne (central France) was originally built during he 1100s, then remodeled during the 1400s and 1500s. Handed over to his creditors by the last impecunious owner in the 1770s, it was dismantled after the French Revolution.

 

Its very atmospheric ruins show a lot of damage on one side, while the other is still almost intact and show refined defensive architecture that denote generous spending at the time of the construction.
