Château de Saint-Ferriol, Medieval castle in Saint-Ferriol, France.
The Château de Saint-Ferriol stands on a ridge with a rectangular main building and two wings, offering views over the northern and southern valleys.
First mentioned in 1155, the current castle was constructed in the late 16th century when traditional fortification methods were becoming outdated due to military advancements.
Six monumental fireplaces and a coat of arms from 1630 depicting a lion with a three-towered castle demonstrate the architectural preferences of French nobility.
The castle undergoes renovation work, with opportunities for volunteers to participate in gardening, restoration projects, and archaeological research activities.
During the French Revolution, two bastions of the castle served as quarries for local residents, leading to partial modifications of the original structure.
