Château de Brandon, Medieval castle in Saint-Pierre-de-Varennes, France.
Brandon Castle features two fortified courtyards with square towers at the corners and a thirteenth-century drawbridge tower structure.
Built upon a former Roman camp, the castle monitored the Agrippa road connecting the Empire's capital to northern Gaul.
The remaining dovecote structure represents the judicial authority held by feudal lords over their domain during medieval times.
Guided tours operate daily in July and August at 1:30 PM, 3:00 PM, and 4:30 PM, with adult admission priced at 6.50 euros.
The castle transformed into a residence during the 17th century before becoming a farm and falling into abandonment until the early 20th century.
