Château de Larroque-Toirac, Medieval fortress on limestone cliff in Larroque-Toirac, France.
The castle rises from a steep cliff face, incorporating natural caves and featuring multiple levels of defensive structures overlooking the Lot Valley.
Built in the 13th century and modified until the 17th century, the fortress changed hands multiple times during conflicts between French and English forces.
The castle maintains its original medieval kitchen and contains preserved 15th-century fireplaces alongside 16th-century frescoes throughout its chambers.
Guided tours operate from June through September, with special evening tours conducted by candlelight every Tuesday at 20:30 during July and August.
The structure integrates prehistoric caves that were inhabited during the Neolithic period, connecting ancient human settlements with medieval architecture.
