Château de Vigouroux, Medieval castle in Saint-Martin-sous-Vigouroux, France.

The Château de Vigouroux consists of two separate buildings on the same grounds: a fortress and a pleasure castle with distinctive angular towers.

The castle lordship, established in the 11th century under the Viscounty of Murat, was partially destroyed in 1360 by John Chandos, lieutenant of the English king.

The castle maintains stained glass windows bearing the Lastic family coat of arms from the 17th and 18th centuries, plus historical wallpapers in second-floor rooms.

The castle, now privately owned, has been listed as a Historical Monument since 1987 and functions as a bed and breakfast for visitors.

The foundations of the original 11th-century fortress remain visible beneath the current structure, built in the 16th century using materials from the former building.
