Château de Péronne, Medieval castle in Péronne, France
The fortress contains three preserved towers connected by curtain walls, with the structures made of sandstone and brick materials.
Herbert I, Count of Vermandois, constructed the first castle in the late 9th century to replace a royal palace destroyed by Vikings.
The castle houses the Historial de la Grande Guerre museum, which presents extensive collections related to World War I.
Visitors can access the castle courtyard and view the exterior architecture, while the museum operates throughout the year.
The castle served as a location where Louis XI was held captive by Charles the Bold in 1468, leading to a forced treaty.
