Château de Brametourte, Medieval fortress in Lautrec, France.

The fortress features four square towers at its corners, Gothic arches in the polygonal courtyard, and arrow slits throughout its stone walls.

Built in the 11th century, the castle belonged to the Viscounts of Lautrec until 1580 when Huguenots captured it during the Religious Wars.

The castle hosts local events and receptions in its renovated spaces while maintaining the original architectural elements of its medieval construction.

The castle includes ancient cellars and an ingenious ventilation system that naturally cools the upper apartments during summer months.

Local stories mention that the name Brametourte originates from when the Count of Toulouse imprisoned a baron's daughter in a tower.
