Château de Roumégous, Medieval castle in La Salvetat-Peyralès, France.
The Roumégous Castle stands on a steep hill overlooking the Viaur Valley, featuring four corner towers and an internal staircase tower.
Built between 1250 and the 15th century, this castle belonged to the Lords of Cadoule before passing to the Chalon family in the 16th century.
The name Roumégous comes from the Occitan language and refers to a place covered with brambles, reflecting the local vegetation of that time.
The main structure of the castle measures 8.70 meters by 8.45 meters, with corner towers each measuring 7 meters in diameter.
The castle lacks arrow slits in its construction, indicating a primary residential function rather than a defensive purpose.
