Château du Cheylard, Medieval castle in Aujac, France

Château du Cheylard stands at 600 meters altitude above the Cèze Valley, featuring both a square and round tower within its fortified structure.

Built in the 12th century, this fortress served as the last intact representative of a medieval fortification network, with records dating back to 1270.

The castle grounds maintain a medieval hamlet complete with a farm, dovecote, sheepfold, and chapel, hosting regular cultural exhibitions and workshops.

The castle opens daily during summer from 3:30 PM to 8:30 PM, offering guided tours in English and French at 8 euros for adults.

A drawbridge above a dry moat, discovered in 2016 following a pipe rupture, represents one of the rarest architectural findings in the region.
