Château d'Avezan, Medieval castle in Lomagne Gersoise, France
The fortress presents thick stone walls with a high entrance door, defensive slits, and murder holes across its thirteenth-century structure.
Built around 1230 for the Viscounts of Lomagne, the castle sided with English forces during conflicts against French royal authority.
The castle functions as a center for contemporary art exhibitions, small concerts, and recitals that connect with the local community.
Visitors can participate in guided tours or arrange private dinners for up to twenty guests in the restored medieval guardroom.
Students from Quebec and the United States contributed to thirty summer restoration campaigns that saved the castle from complete ruin.
