Château de Carbonat, Medieval castle in Arpajon-sur-Cère, France.
The Château de Carbonat rises on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Cère river, featuring north and south towers alongside a two-story rectangular residence.
Built around 1130 by Astorg d'Aurillac, the castle underwent substantial modifications during the Renaissance period to transform into a residential structure.
The castle contains a decorated 15th-century chimney from Château de Branzac, showcasing the work of Italian artists commissioned by Camille Carracioli.
The castle spans 1200 square meters of roof area and includes 70 windows, with many retaining their original 18th-century wooden frames.
The grand staircase displays landings with arches supported by columns topped with Doric and Ionic capitals beneath rib vaulting.
