A prestigious collection in the heart of France.
Charles Motier de la Fayette had Aulteribe fortified with arrows and cannonieres, as attested by the “prixfait” for the work carried out in 1467. The château subsequently belonged to the Montboissier family, before being acquired by the De Pierre family in 1775. In the 19th century, Joseph De Pierre and his wife Henriette Onslow set about restoring and converting the former residence. In 1954, the Marquis Henri De Pierre bequeathed the Château d’Aulteribe and its outbuildings, park and forest, as well as its collections, to the French State, with the express wish that the ensemble be protected and used for the artistic education of the public. This wish has been scrupulously respected, allowing visitors to discover this surprising place, located in the heart of the Livradois-Forez Regional Nature Park.
Since 1999, the Château d’Aulteribe has been home to a professional training course in cabinetmaking, the only one of its kind in France.
