Château de Galinières, Medieval fortress in Pierrefiche, France.

The castle features a prominent tower with painted decorations of vine branches adorning the walls of the Abbot's Chamber on the second floor.

Originally built between 1371 and mid-15th century as a monastic barn for Bonneval Abbey, the fortress became a strategic site during religious conflicts.

The lower hall of the keep contains an exhibition about Cistercian abbeys of Rouergue and their estates from the French Revolution to modern times.

Visitors need to schedule appointments in advance by calling +33565707130 or +33565707511 to explore the partially accessible historical complex.

The medieval barn structure includes distinctive architectural elements such as pointed arch doorways, Gothic windows, and diaphragm arches in the sheepfold.
