Château de Sainte-Eulalie-d'Olt stands in Sainte-Eulalie-d'Olt (Aveyron), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Standing at the heart of the village of Sainte-Eulalie-d'Olt, this roughly rectangular château dates from the late 15th century and replaced an earlier fortified house that had fallen into ruin, once owned by the de Curières family. Facing the square, it shows a porch and a Gothic mullioned window, while the garden front is marked by the rounded projecting stair tower. Inside, a Renaissance fireplace and a Gothic one still bearing traces of painted decoration sit alongside coffered ceilings on three floors.
