Château d'O, Gothic castle in Mortrée, France
The castle stands on stilts above a pond, featuring high pointed roofs, tapering turrets, and a combination of Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements.
Following the Hundred Years' War, the original fortress from the 11th century was transformed into the current structure between the 15th and 17th centuries.
The interior rooms display 18th-century wall paintings, while the architectural design represents the evolution of French castle construction through multiple periods.
Tours of the castle operate daily from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM during August and early September without admission fees.
The castle received the European Heritage Award in 1978 after Jacques and Yolande Lacretelle completed an extensive restoration of the structure in the 1970s.
