Château de Lacapelle-Marival, Medieval castle in Lacapelle-Marival, France

The castle consists of a square tower measuring 18 meters on each side, rising seven levels from cellar to patrol walkway with corner watchtowers.

The Cardaillac family resided in this fortress for four centuries, with construction beginning in 1460 under Guisbert de Cardaillac-Lacapelle and completed by his son Astorg.

The castle features 15th-century paintings and 17th-century Dutch print reproductions on French-style ceilings, along with grisaille artworks depicting French royal victories.

Guided tours operate daily except Mondays from July through August, with adult admission starting at 5 euros and parking facilities for cars and buses.

The northern facade bears visible musket ball marks from a 1663 royal siege following Elizabeth de Pluvinel's refusal to comply with parliament orders.
