Château de Milly-la-Forêt, Medieval castle in Milly-la-Forêt, France
The stone fortress features two crenellated towers at its entrance, with a central gatehouse that formerly contained a drawbridge mechanism and portcullis system.
Built in the 12th century by the Lords of Milly, the castle underwent reconstruction after the English siege of 1432 and major modifications in the late 15th century.
The castle exemplifies the architectural evolution of French defensive structures, from a medieval stronghold to a refined residence with Renaissance elements.
Located one hour from Paris, the castle grounds include maintained gardens, water canals derived from the river, and preserved outbuildings near the entrance gate.
The castle's entrance complex was transformed from a traditional keep into a gatehouse in 1475, marking an unusual architectural adaptation in French fortification history.
