Château de Pernant, Medieval fortress in Pernant, France
The stone castle features a square layout with four corner towers and sits on a promontory overlooking the Pernant valley.
The castle's first mention dates to 1322 when Guillaume de Bouclenay received a tithe exemption document for the property.
The fortress transformed from a military stronghold into a pleasure residence during the Gonnelieu family's 150-year ownership in the Renaissance period.
The castle grounds include underground chambers beneath the keep, formerly used for livestock storage and defensive purposes.
German artillery during World War I severely damaged the castle in 1918, leaving it uninhabited for over 90 years until restoration began in 2011.
