Château des Anglais, Medieval fortress ruins in Autoire, France
The Château des Anglais extends under a rocky cliff with a narrow keep and remnants of a corps de logis spanning 28 meters in length.
Built between the 11th and 12th centuries, this fortress included 22 square houses forming a fortified village protected by substantial stone walls.
The castle ruins represent medieval defensive architecture in the Lot region, with its strategic position overlooking the Autoire valley.
Visitors can reach the castle through two paths: from the plateau or valley, with the plateau route offering an easier 30-minute walking experience.
The castle structure integrates with the natural rock formation, creating a defensive position that extends 200 meters along the cliff face.
