Château de Mehun-sur-Yèvre, Medieval castle ruins in Mehun-sur-Yèvre, France.
The fortress stands on a trapezoidal base with four cylindrical towers at each corner, surrounded by deep defensive trenches.
The castle evolved from a 13th-century fortification into a grand residence under John, Duke of Berry, who transformed it in the late 14th century.
The castle features Gothic architectural elements including machicolations, gargoyles, and stone carvings that demonstrate medieval craftsmanship.
Visitors can explore the preserved keep and west tower, which contain exhibits about the castle's military and residential functions through centuries.
King Charles VII of France spent his final moments in this castle, where he died on July 22, 1461.
