Château de Moret, Medieval castle in Moret-Loing-et-Orvanne, France.
The rectangular keep with buttresses stands at the confluence of the Seine and Loing rivers, featuring defensive structures that descend toward the water.
Louis VI constructed the castle in 1126 alongside the city walls to monitor the confluence of the Seine and the bridge on the old Paris-Burgundy road.
The castle served as a residence for several French monarchs, including Louis VII, Philip II Augustus, and Saint Louis during their hunting expeditions.
Located at 15 rue du Château in Moret-Loing-et-Orvanne, the castle maintains specific areas restricted to visitors due to private property regulations.
The keep transformed into a state prison in 1311, holding the future King Louis X before his ascension to the French throne.
