Château d'Apcher, Medieval castle ruins in Prunières, France.
The stone fortress displays a central courtyard surrounded by three residential buildings and service structures protected by a defensive wall enclosure.
The castle served as the seat of the Marquis d'Apchier, one of eight barons of Gévaudan, with first documentation dating from 1180.
Archaeological excavations conducted from 2000 to 2012 revealed numerous artifacts that inform specialists about medieval noble life in France.
Information panels throughout the site provide detailed explanations about different areas and architectural elements of the medieval structure.
The castle's keep remains intact while other sections fell into ruins during the gradual abandonment that began in the 17th century.
