Chateau D'Espalion, by Chris J. Symes.

Atmospheric view of a fine old castle. Situated in France, Midi-pyrénées, Aveyron.

 

Built in 1572 this was, in fact, originally the Old Palace, then the Town Hall, then a prison. Nowadays I believe it is a Hotel.

 

The actual local castle, Château de Calmont d'Olt, sits on a hill behind the town.

 

Taken from a 1930's volume of the 'Photograms of the Year' annual.
