Château de Noirmoutier, Medieval castle and museum in Noirmoutier-en-l'Île, France.
The stone castle features a 20-meter-high keep that overlooks the town and houses exhibitions dedicated to local history and heritage.
Built in the 12th century on the site of an earlier fortress from 830, the castle protected inhabitants from Viking raids and later withstood English attacks.
The museum within the castle displays archaeological findings, documents about the Vendée Wars, and exhibits about the island's maritime traditions.
The castle museum charges 8 euros for adult admission and 5 euros for children, with guided tours available Monday through Thursday.
The castle served multiple functions throughout time, including as a military prison during the French Revolution and an internment center in World War I.
