Château de Loupiac

Château de Loupiac is a medieval fortress in Sévérac-d'Aveyron featuring four cylindrical corner towers and thick defensive walls. A spiral staircase inside connects three different levels throughout the structure.

The fortress was built in the 13th century by Guy de La Panouse, Bishop of Mende, and later controlled by different local noble families. It suffered damage during the French Revolution when it was partially burned.

The castle stands as a representation of medieval military engineering, displaying the architectural methods and defense systems used during the Middle Ages.

The site sits on a hilltop and is visible from surrounding villages, making it easy to locate and plan a visit. The best time to explore is during warmer months when paths around the ruins remain dry and accessible.

During the French Wars of Religion, the castle changed hands multiple times between opposing forces before being burned during the French Revolution.
