Château de la Jonquière stands in Lavaur (Tarn), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
At Lavaur, in the Tarn, the Château de la Jonquière shows the outline of a fortress, standing on a site occupied for a long time, though the building seen today only dates from the very beginning of the 20th century. Rebuilt around an older keep by the Comte de Pélissier, it combines medieval-looking features, battlements, machicolations, pepper-pot roofs, with large windows that give away its more recent construction. Visitors find a central block flanked by round towers and a circular keep, designed to evoke rather than faithfully copy an older military architecture.
