Maintenon Castle, Renaissance castle in Maintenon, France
The castle features three round towers surrounding the main building, with east and west wings framing a courtyard crossed by a moat from the Eure River.
Jean Cottereau, treasurer of Louis XII, acquired the property in the early 16th century and transformed the medieval fortress into a residential estate.
The interior displays Chinese-style salons, period furniture, and a portrait gallery showcasing paintings from the House of Noailles through different generations.
The castle maintains separate touring sections, including the 17th-century apartments of Madame de Maintenon and the 19th-century spaces of Duke Paul de Noailles.
The unfinished aqueduct, designed by Vauban between 1685 and 1690, stands at the end of the gardens as evidence of Louis XIV's plan to supply water to Versailles.
