Château de Fayrac, Medieval castle in Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, France.
The stone castle incorporates two round towers from the 15th century, a chapel with ribbed vaults, and a charretterie door guarded by a defensive structure.
The fortress changed ownership during the Hundred Years' War, serving as an observation post for Château de Castelnaud in support of the English forces.
The castle's architecture reflects different building periods, combining medieval fortifications with Renaissance elements influenced by Italian design of the 16th century.
The castle stands on private property at 63 Fayrac in the Dordogne department, forming part of the valley of six castles route.
Composer Fernand Fouant de La Tombelle owned the property in the 19th century, while writer André Malraux found refuge here during World War II.
