Château de Miramont, Medieval castle ruins in Barbaira, France.
The rectangular keep of Château de Miramont stands among scattered stone walls on a hill, featuring thick walls with precise stone joints.
First documented in 1063, the castle endured destruction by royal forces in 1211 during the Albigensian Crusade under Simon de Montfort's command.
The castle represents medieval defensive architecture with remaining arrow slits and fortification elements from the 12th century construction period.
Visitors can reach the castle remains by following a path up the hill, with free access to explore the historical structure.
The castle contains a small cornice suggesting a former wooden floor, though an arched ceiling restricts the space's functionality.
