Château de Beaufort, Medieval castle in Goudet, France

The castle stands on a rocky peak 100 meters high, overlooking three valleys and the Loire River in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Built around 1200 by Lambert de Goudet, the fortress received additional defenses in the 16th century with a bastion and tower by Antoine La Tour.

The castle represents medieval military architecture with its square layout, vaulted rooms, and remaining walls that showcase construction techniques of different periods.

Access to the castle requires advance reservations through phone numbers 04 71 57 66 20 or 06 16 34 91 11 for guided tours.

Despite numerous sieges throughout its history, including attacks during the Hundred Years War, the castle remained unconquered until its abandonment.
