Château de Nègrepelisse, Medieval castle in Nègrepelisse, France
The quadrangular fortress features four round towers and thick stone walls measuring between 2 and 2.5 meters, built with carved stones and quicklime.
During the French Wars of Religion in 1622, the royal troops captured the castle after the Protestant town of Nègrepelisse had eliminated its royal garrison.
Artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard created drawings of the castle in 1773, which are now preserved in a Dutch museum collection.
The castle reopened in 2014 following extensive renovation work by RCR Arquitectes, transforming the medieval structure into a contemporary art center.
The castle's vaulted cellar from the 15th century remains visible under open sky, following the partial demolition of the original structure.
