Château de Goudourville stands in Goudourville (Tarn-et-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Set on a rocky outcrop overlooking both the village of Goudourville and the Garonne valley, this castle carries the marks of a turbulent history stretching from the 12th century to 20th-century restorations. Traces remain of a medieval stronghold besieged more than once, later reworked into a Renaissance residence and then softened into a more comfortable dwelling under the Ancien Régime. Visitors can see a spiral staircase, a guard room with its fireplace, a chapel and several rooms that have kept their period decoration.
