Château de Castelfranc, Medieval castle in Montredon-Labessonnié, France
The castle complex forms an L-shaped layout with a rectangular building, square tower observatory, orangerie, chapel, and wooden gallery around the top floor.
Guillaume le Nautonnier, geographer to King Henri IV, owned the original castle until its destruction in 1628, leaving only the 1610 Belvedere standing.
The 1835 reconstruction incorporated architectural elements and sculptures from various buildings in Toulouse, creating a blend of regional architectural styles.
The castle remains private property without public access, while protection documentation is available at the Heritage and Photography Media Library in Charenton-le-Pont.
The castle features an external wooden gallery following medieval fortification principles, with a square tower serving as an astronomical observatory.
