Castle of Pesteils, Medieval castle in Polminhac, France.
A square stone keep rises 40 meters high above the Cère valley, with a main residential building constructed in front of the medieval structure.
Jean de Foulhols constructed the defensive tower during the Hundred Years' War in the second half of the 14th century.
The castle contains 15th-century frescoes, 17th-century painted ceilings depicting Greek mythology, and a restored ancient kitchen from the year 2000.
Visitors can explore the castle independently, with twenty wax figures illustrating seven centuries of daily life throughout the rooms.
The Cassagnes de Beaufort de Miramon family has maintained continuous ownership and residence in the castle since 1608.
