Château de Blanquefort-sur-Briolance, Medieval castle in Blanquefort-sur-Briolance, France.
The castle features defensive fortifications with a square tower, a round tower, and thick stone walls situated in the Lot-et-Garonne region.
The castle first appeared in records before 1249, following the murder of Gaucerand de Blanquefort and subsequent confiscation by Count Raymond VII of Toulouse.
The castle represents the architectural evolution from the 12th to 17th centuries, combining military defense elements with noble residence features.
The monument, inscribed as a historical landmark in 2008, stands in the village center and can be viewed during a visit to Blanquefort-sur-Briolance.
The structure housed both a school and town hall from 1880 until 1960, marking an unusual transition from medieval fortress to civic building.
