Château de Caylus, Medieval castle in Rouairoux, France

The castle exhibits a four-story main building with a square tower and features Renaissance mullioned windows added to the original structure.

Nicolas de Bernon held lordship of the castle in the early 15th century, marking the beginning of the Bernon family's influence in Rouairoux.

The coats of arms belonging to both the Bernon and Caylus families remain visible on several sections of the castle's structure.

Archaeological work conducted in 2018 revealed medieval walls and tile remnants confirming construction activities dating back to the 5th century.

The castle transformed from a barony in 1680 to a marquisate, granting its holders representation in the Languedoc States until 1783.
