Château de Belflou stands in Belflou (Aude), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In the Lauragais region, the château de Belflou has kept, since the 13th century, a defensive outline that remains largely intact, surrounded by a water-filled moat forming a continuous oval ring. Built mostly between the late 13th and early 14th century, it retains its corner towers, a stair tower decorated with busts and gargoyles, and traces of its medieval enclosure. Later alterations are still visible: windows enlarged in the 17th and 18th centuries, a stone bridge replacing the old drawbridge, and a north facade reworked in the 19th century.
