Château de Plieux, Medieval castle in Plieux, France
The rectangular fortress features two square towers at opposite corners and protective battlements extending along three sides of the building.
Built in 1340 by the Faudoas family, the castle served military purposes and passed through ownership of noble families including Galard and Rochechouart.
The castle now functions as a contemporary art center, hosting exhibitions in its historical rooms throughout summer months.
Visitors can explore the 26-meter Sainte-Mère tower and observe the architectural modifications made during the Renaissance period.
The castle windows were extensively modified in later centuries to provide extended views across the surrounding French countryside.
