Château de Carry, Medieval castle ruins in Haute-Loire, France.
The castle comprises a fortified gatehouse and a distinctive pentagonal tower with four levels, situated on an elevated position overlooking the Lignon valley.
Construction began in the 12th century under Hitier de Vertamise in 1136, with subsequent modifications continuing through the 14th century.
The remains demonstrate medieval military architecture through features such as arrow slits, defensive battlements, and rounded arch windows typical of the period.
The 13,000 square meter private property containing the castle ruins is currently closed to public access due to safety considerations.
The castle incorporates a partially vaulted ground floor within its pentagonal tower, along with defensive brattices positioned strategically toward the southwest.
