Château de Belcastel, Medieval castle and art museum in Belcastel, France.
The castle stands on a massive rock formation above the Aveyron River, featuring stone walls, towers, and defensive structures from different periods.
The fortress originated in the 9th century with a chapel, later expanding through centuries of noble ownership until architect Fernand Pouillon restored it in 1970.
The castle exhibits contemporary art collections alongside historical artifacts, with rotating exhibitions focusing on medieval mythology and regional heritage.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds from April through October, with guided tours available to learn about the architecture and exhibitions.
The castle houses a gallery dedicated to architect Fernand Pouillon, who transformed 3 million square meters of public housing across France.
