Château de Lézignac, Medieval castle in Graulhet, France

The castle features Renaissance architectural elements with grilled windows on the ground floor and multiple levels of living quarters within its stone walls.

The estate was gifted to Candeil Abbey by the Count of Lautrec in 1159, serving as a residence for abbots until the French Revolution.

The castle includes preserved 16th-century architectural elements, such as an entrance door from 1561 and Renaissance-style decorative ceilings and fireplaces.

The structure suffered severe damage from a fire in August 2017, leaving only partial walls standing and making the site currently inaccessible for safety reasons.

The castle combines elements from different construction periods, with cellars dating to the 12th century and upper sections added during the 15th and 16th centuries.
