According to a 15th-century drawing from the Armorial d'Auvergne, the fortress was large and heavily fortified, with three surrounding walls and 20 towers. The castle's motto was garde le traître et la dent (lit. beware the traitor and the tooth), suggesting that the secure fortifications could only be threatened by traitors or starvation.
