Château de Nesles, Medieval castle in Seringes-et-Nesles, France.

The castle features an imposing quadrangular enclosure with eight identical towers and a cylindrical master tower reaching 30 meters in height.

Robert III of Dreux constructed the castle in 1226 with permission from Count Thibaud of Champagne to build a fortified house on this location.

The castle's architectural design follows the Philippic model, incorporating geometric patterns and symmetrical elements inspired by Dourdan Castle.

The castle remains are located 2 kilometers east of Seringes-et-Nesles village and require advance appointments for guided tours.

During World War I, American soldiers from the 42nd Rainbow Division, led by Colonel Douglas MacArthur, liberated the castle from German forces in 1918.
