Château de Gramont, Medieval castle in Gramont, France.

The Château de Gramont stands on a hill above the Arratz River, featuring both Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements throughout its structure.

Simon IV de Montfort controlled the castle in the 13th century before granting it to his lieutenant Odon de Montaut during the Albigensian Crusade.

The Renaissance wing, added between 1535 and 1545, displays period furniture, original flooring, and monumental fireplaces that reflect French aristocratic lifestyle.

The Centre des monuments nationaux manages the castle, which opens daily for visits with adult admission priced at 7 euros, free for EU residents under 26.

A vaulted spiral staircase leads to a small oratory, while the Simon de Montfort Tower remains from the original medieval fortification.
