Château d'Entraygues, Medieval fortress in Entraygues-sur-Truyère, France.
The castle stands at the meeting point of the Lot and Truyère rivers, featuring three massive towers with walls two meters thick at their base.
Henri II of Rodez initiated the construction of this military fortress in 1278, building three separate towers with rectangular buildings connecting them.
The castle structure reflects medieval military architecture through its arrow slits, drawbridges, and defensive features designed for strategic control of the region.
The castle grounds now house Saint Joseph Primary School and a boarding facility, allowing visitors to observe the exterior architecture throughout the year.
During the Wars of Religion in 1588, a Huguenot captain captured the castle through cunning tactics, leading to significant architectural modifications.
