Château d'Estaing, Medieval castle in Estaing, France

The stone fortress rises above the village at the confluence of the Lot and Coussane rivers, featuring a square keep and multiple towers.

The castle served as the ancestral residence of the Estaing family from the 11th century until 1794, when it was sold during the French Revolution.

The castle houses an exhibition dedicated to Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, presenting documents and objects related to French and European politics.

Guided tours for groups of up to 20 people operate twice daily by reservation, with adult admission costing 10 euros and children 6 euros.

The fortress combines elements from different construction periods, including an original 15th-century chapel and modern additions from the 20th century.
