Château d'Estignols, Historical castle in Aurice, France
The castle stands on vaulted cellars with a rectangular layout, featuring red brick chains and pilasters adorning its single-story facades.
In 1616, Baron de Poyanne's forces destroyed the castle during a siege ordered by Louis XIII, leading to its complete reconstruction.
The architectural elements reflect Scottish influences through the Spens family, who settled in France when Patrick Spens married in Saint-Sever in 1466.
The castle received monument historique protection status on February 14, 1978, covering its facades, roofs, and an interior wooden staircase.
An observation point sits atop the roof, accompanied by extensive outbuildings including a adobe sheepfold and a wooden poultry-dovecote with fish scale roofing.
