Château de Hautségur, Medieval castle in Meyras, France.
The castle stands on a hill above the Ardèche valley, featuring columned fireplaces, watchtowers, fern ceilings, and a spiral staircase with an umbel.
Built in the 12th century as a defensive keep, the structure underwent extensive modifications in 1597 to become a fortified castle overlooking the region.
The castle serves as a center for traditional crafts education, offering specialized workshops in dry stone construction techniques throughout the year.
Adult visitors pay an entrance fee of 8 euros, while children under 10 years enter free, with guided tours available through advance reservation.
The castle maintains rare architectural elements including distinctive fern-pattern ceilings and machicolated watchtowers that reflect medieval defensive design.
