Château d'Aynac, Renaissance castle in Aynac, France
The castle features four round towers with machicolations, a square central tower, and two wings forming a U-shape around a south-facing courtyard.
Construction began in the early 16th century under Jacquette, wife of Annet de Turenne d'Aynac, replacing an earlier medieval fortress on the site.
Two rooms on the first floor preserve French-style ceilings with restored paintings and 17th-century carved wooden fireplaces displaying period craftsmanship.
The castle stands 20 minutes from Rocamadour and Padirac Cave, with direct access to local shops in Aynac village.
The castle's monumental staircase features Doric vaults, while its thick slate roof comes from regional quarries.
