Description

The Château d'Estaing is a residence of the 11th, 15th, 16th and 17th centuries located in the French commune of Estaing in the department of Aveyron, in the Occitanie region.

Former residence of the d'Estaing family, whose senior branch died out in 1794, the château is attested before the 12th century and was held of the counts of Rouergue.

In 2005, the château was bought by the former President of the Republic Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, his brother Olivier and their cousin Philippe.

The entrance pavilion, the château and the terraces were listed as historic monuments by decree of 6 January 1945.
