Château féodal de Sancerre, Medieval castle ruins in Sancerre, France.

The stone fortress stands at 312 meters elevation, featuring remnants of six defensive towers overlooking the Loire River and surrounding vineyards.

The counts of Champagne constructed this strategic castle in the Berry province, which endured multiple sieges before its destruction during the French Revolution.

The castle grounds reflect the medieval architectural heritage of the Loire Valley while connecting to the region's wine production traditions.

Visitors can access the castle site throughout the year, with guided tours available from April to September offering information about the medieval structure.

The castle's location at the highest point in Sancerre provides views across four different soil types that create the area's wine-growing conditions.
