Origin and history
Dalmayrac Castle is a building located in the commune of Rodelle, Aveyron in the Occitan region. It consists of an initial nucleus dating from the 16th century, represented by a round tower, and an 18th century house body, arranged symmetrically around a central rectangular tower. This architectural mix illustrates the stylistic evolutions between Renaissance and modern times, typical of the wheeled castles transformed over the centuries.
The castle was listed as historical monuments on 27 August 1993, a recognition specifically for its facades, roofs, and the 18th century structure of the main house body. The so-called "manager wing" is also part of the protected elements. This inscription highlights the heritage value of the building, both for its history and for its preserved architectural features.
The location of the castle, at 5278 Dalmayrac on the town of Rodelle, is attested by the Mérimée and Monumentum bases. Although sources mention GPS coordinates and variable location accuracy, no additional details are provided on its current accessibility (visits, events, or accommodation). The site remains a testimony of the seigneurial and agricultural dynamics that marked the Rouergue in modern and contemporary times.
