The Castle of Caylus, also known as Château de Cailus, is a fortified castle located in Rouairoux, in the Tarn region of Occitanie, France. Built in the 15th century, this beautiful fortified residence was the seat of a barony and then a marquisate. The castle represents the historical center of the current village of Rouairoux. The castle is a beautiful residence consisting of a large main building on four floors oriented to the West and flanked by a powerful square tower at the Southwest corner. This can be likened to a keep. A wing on three floors is articulated at a right angle from the Northeast corner of the main building. This part is adorned with a circular corner turret, remodeled in the 19th century, with for example decorative false machicolations.
