Château de Plassac, Renaissance castle in Plassac, France

The estate spreads across 200 hectares surrounded by a 4.5-kilometer stone wall with four round towers at each corner of the property.

The castle's initial structure dates from 1340, and underwent major modifications in 1555 when it was given to Jean-Louis Nogaret de La Valette.

Architect Victor Louis, who designed the Palais Royal in Paris, created this castle as one of the most notable 18th-century buildings in the region.

The property maintains active vineyards specializing in Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes for the production of wines and cognac.

During World War II, General Rommel established his military headquarters within the walls of Château de Plassac.
