Château de Sévérac, Medieval fortress in Sévérac-d'Aveyron, France.
The castle stands at 2600 feet elevation, with towers, ramparts, and a Renaissance facade overlooking the Aveyron valley and medieval settlement below.
Built in the 11th century, the fortress underwent transformations in the 14th and 15th centuries when Italian architects added Renaissance elements to its structure.
The castle hosts medieval events, street performances, and offers children activities where they participate as apprentice knights throughout summer months.
Guided tours operate from January through December, with facilities including parking areas, picnic spaces, and acceptance of cash or credit card payments.
Two fortified gates lead to narrow streets where noble residences and the 15th-century Maison des Consuls reveal the medieval layout of Aveyron.
