Puycelsi
Puycelsi’s earliest known historical document is a sale of the lordship in 1180 by the abbot of Aurillac to Raymond V, Count of Toulouse. The counts fortified the settlement and built a castle that no longer survives. Around 1850 the municipality bought castle remains and land to create an access road.

Redactionele duiding
Editorial interpretation: The distinction between surviving settlement and vanished castle offers a useful way to read Puycelsi. Following the later reuse of castle land for access connects medieval ownership with subsequent changes to the village’s physical setting.
Aanbeveling
Plan arrival using current municipal or local tourism information, and confirm public transport or parking separately. Explore public streets and established paths while respecting residents and private courtyards. The coordinate locates the settlement; it is not a verified visitor car park or a guarantee of access to individual buildings.
