Château de Charles-Le-Téméraire, Medieval castle in Charolles, France.
The castle features a semicircular enclosure with multiple defensive towers, including the Diamond Tower and the Archives Tower.
Built in the 13th century, the castle received major reinforcements between 1310 and 1317 when Jean de Clermont added nine towers to the structure.
The castle stood as the central point of one of the six castellanies of Charolais County, marking the medieval significance of Charolles.
The municipality converted the castle into the City Hall, allowing visitors to explore its architecture while accessing administrative services.
The castle fortifications underwent modifications in the mid-15th century to withstand the emerging artillery techniques of the period.
