Château de Lastours, Medieval castle ruins in Rilhac-Lastours, France.
The stone fortress includes four round towers, a pentagonal layout, and a 26-meter-high keep positioned on the eastern section of the structure.
The castle, constructed in the 12th century, underwent modifications in the 16th century and served as the residence for the Lords and Barons of Lastours.
The castle represents medieval military architecture with remaining towers, walls, and fortification elements that showcase construction methods from different periods.
Visitors must respect private property boundaries and restricted areas when exploring the ruins, which are protected under French heritage regulations.
The castle moat contained water until the late 19th century, with two large round towers framing the entrance gate connected to the curtain walls.
