Château de Puycalvel stands in Puycalvel (Tarn), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
Standing apart from the village of Puycalvel, in the Tarn department, this altered fortified castle rises amid a stand of trees. First recorded in the 13th century under the viscounty of Lautrec, the building seen today largely dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. It consists of a massive rubble stone residence arranged in a U shape around an inner courtyard, its only decorative touch being a turret resembling a bartizan, carried on a stone corbel.
