Château de Lacassagne, Medieval castle in Saint-Avit-Frandat, France
Château de Lacassagne is a castle in Saint-Avit-Frandat featuring two round towers connected by a corbel-supported balcony on its main facade. The structure demonstrates military architectural design typical of its construction period.
Construction of the castle began in the 13th century and underwent major transformations in the 15th and 17th centuries. A spiral staircase was added along with other modifications that shaped the building's current appearance.
The Knights of Malta Hall displays wall paintings from between 1620 and 1640 that reproduce the council chamber from the Grand Masters Palace in Malta. The artwork reflects the artistic interests of the castle's owners during this period.
The castle remains in private ownership and is not open for regular visits to the public. Special permission from the owners is required to view the property.
The wall paintings in the main hall depict the Turkish attack on Valletta in 1565, copying original works that Napoleon Bonaparte destroyed in 1798. These reproductions preserve images that would otherwise no longer exist.
