Château de Bannes, Medieval fortress in Beaumontois-en-Périgord, France
The castle features five towers with conical slate roofs surrounding a small inner courtyard, accessed through a drawbridge entrance gate.
Built for the Bishop of Sarlat in the 14th century, the castle was destroyed in 1442 during the Hundred Years' War and rebuilt between 1510 and 1515.
The monumental fireplace in the great hall displays four levels of sculpted panels with initials, devices, and heraldic animals from the Renaissance period.
The castle remains a private property owned by Franky Mulliez and does not offer public visits to its historical premises.
Archaeological discoveries at the site include sarcophagi and a coin from Emperor Vespasian, indicating occupation since ancient Roman times.
