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.
