Château de Plieux, Medieval castle in Plieux, France
Château de Plieux is a rectangular fortress featuring two square towers at opposite corners and defensive walls extending along three sides. The structure displays Renaissance modifications layered over its medieval core.
The fortress was built in 1340 by the Faudoas family for military defense. Ownership later passed to the noble families Galard and Rochechouart.
