Château de Miremont, Medieval fortress in Chalvignac, France.
The castle stands on a basalt plateau at 640 meters elevation, where the Labiou and Dordogne rivers meet, featuring two high curtain walls and circular tower bases.
The castle experienced multiple sieges, including attacks by the Bishop of Clermont in 1105 and capture by English forces under Robert Knoll in 1357.
The structure demonstrates medieval military architecture with its defensive layout, including semicircular flanking towers and fortified entrance protected by a tower.
Visitors can observe the remaining stone structures and defensive elements within the protected cultural heritage site, which received monument status in 1973.
The Marquis de Simiane ordered the partial demolition of the castle in 1777 due to maintenance expenses, leading to its current state as preserved ruins.
