Château de Gourdon, Medieval castle in Gourdon, France.
Three round towers and fortified northern walls stand at 758 meters above sea level, offering views over the Loup Valley below.
The initial fortress, constructed in the 9th century during Saracen occupation, underwent major expansions by the Counts of Provence in the 12th century.
The castle includes period furniture collections, ancient weapons displays, and architectural elements reflecting both medieval defense and noble residence purposes.
The castle, registered as a historical monument since 1972, remains closed to public visits and events since 2015.
Four massive arcades support a terraced garden that provides panoramic views extending to the French Riviera coastline.
