Château de Belflou, Medieval castle in Aude, France
The rectangular castle features a central courtyard, multiple towers, and a water-filled moat surrounding the entire stone structure.
Philippe le Bel granted the estate to Philippe de Fontaynes in 1310, leading to five centuries of Fontaynes family control over the property.
The castle exhibits architectural elements from different periods, including Gothic gargoyles and Renaissance busts adorning the north staircase tower.
Visitors can access the castle grounds through a stone bridge that replaced the original western drawbridge during later modifications.
The medieval water-filled moat encircling Château de Belflou remains the last complete defensive water system in Languedoc-Roussillon.
