Château de Mélac, Medieval castle in Saint-Rome-de-Cernon, France.
The castle features four interconnected buildings with towers forming a central courtyard adorned with multiple levels of stone arcades and galleries.
Built between the 14th and 16th centuries by the Gozon family, the fortress demonstrates the architectural evolution from medieval to Renaissance periods.
The castle houses a collection of original 15th-century bombards in its watchtower, representing military technology from the late medieval period.
Visitors can explore the castle from July through August, with guided tours available daily between 2 PM and 8 PM for groups of up to 25 people.
The guard room contains specialized rib tufa stone vaulting from the 14th century, alongside a substantial pink sandstone fireplace.
