Château d'Arifat, Medieval castle in Arifat, France.
The castle features a four-story main building with two mullioned windows on its principal facade, standing on a promontory above waterfalls.
Built in the 13th century by the Soubiran family, the castle underwent substantial modifications during the 15th and 16th centuries.
The Association for the Protection and Promotion of the Arifat Site organizes medieval festivals, equestrian shows, and concerts at the castle grounds.
The castle opens its doors to visitors daily from July 1st to September 15th between 3 PM and 7 PM.
From 1914 to 1961, parts of the castle served as a local school, first in an outbuilding and later within the main structure.
