Château de Coupiac

[1] Dating from the 15th century, the castle is formed by two T-shaped wings, built directly on the bare rock, flanked by three powerful round towers.

These remaining towers show architectural differences, evidence of building over an extended period.

Built in the flamboyant Gothic architecture, the castle impresses in both area and height, by the number of its machicolations, its latrines and its murder holes.

[2] Since 1928, the castle has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

[1] The Château de Coupiac is one of a group of 23 castles in Aveyron which have joined to provide a tourist itinerary as La Route des Seigneurs du Rouergue.
