Français :
Le château de Murol est situé en Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, dans le Puy-de-Dôme.
Le château est construit sur un promontoire basaltique à près de mille mètres d'altitude.
Les premières occupations remontent probablement au xe siècle avec un premier fort primitif mais les plus anciennes fortifications reconnues remonteraient quant à elles au xie-xiie siècles.
Il est agrandi et renforcé régulièrement entre le xiie siècle et le xve siècle, en particulier au xive siècle par Guillaume de Sam ou de Murol, avec notamment la réalisation d'une seconde chapelle funéraire.
Au xve siècle, le château devient propriété de la famille d’Estaing après le mariage de Jehanne de Murol avec Gaspard d’Estaing.
Au xixe siècle, à la suite d’un don du propriétaire, le comte de Chabrol, le château devient propriété de la commune de Murol. (Photos ci-dessous)

The Castle of Murol is located in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, in the area of Puy-de-Dôme.
The castle is built on a promontory of basalt (not surprising in this volcanic region) on almost 1000 metres altitude.
The first proprietors or occupants were probably to be found in the 10th Century with a initial primitive fortification but the oldest known recognized fortifications, dates from the 11th to 12th Century.
The castle was expanded and reinforced regularly between the 12th and 15th Century, particularly during the 14th Century by Guillaume de Sam or de Murol with the realization of a second mortuary chapel.
During the 15th Century the castle became the property of the familly d'Estaing, after the marriage between Jehanne de Murol and Gaspard d'Estaing.
They are of course remotely related to the former French president Giscard d'Estaing.
During the 19th Century, after a donation of the proprietor, count de Chabrol, the castle became the property of the commune of Murol. (Photos below)
