Château de Madaillan, Listed historic monument in Madaillan, France.

The medieval castle rises above the Bourbon and Saysset streams, featuring a prominent tower and defensive structures from multiple construction periods.

The Fossat family initiated the construction in the 13th century, transforming the castle into a strategic stronghold during the Hundred Years War.

An ongoing exhibition displays the artwork of painter Alexandre Broo within the castle halls, enriching the visitor experience with local art.

Castle owner Jacques Aurin conducts guided tours throughout the structure, sharing detailed information about medieval architecture and restoration efforts.

The fortress withstood a 24-day siege by Blaise de Monluc in 1575, successfully repelling an attack force of 3000 men.
