Château de Lacassagne, Medieval castle in Saint-Avit-Frandat, France

The Château de Lacassagne features a military architectural design with two round towers connected by a corbel-supported balcony on its main facade.

The initial construction of the castle dates back to the 13th century, with major modifications in the 15th and 17th centuries including a spiral staircase addition.

The Knights of Malta Hall contains wall paintings executed between 1620 and 1640, reproducing the council chamber from the Grand Masters Palace in Malta.

The castle, located in the Gers department, remains in private ownership and requires special permission for visits as it is not open for regular tours.

The paintings in the main hall depict the Turkish attack on Valletta in 1565, copying original works that Napoleon Bonaparte destroyed in 1798.
