Château de Lucheux, Medieval fortress in Lucheux, France
The castle spans across two hectares on a wooded ridge, divided between an upper and lower courtyard with circular towers and defensive walls.
Hugh II of Campdavaine constructed the initial square stone keep around 1120, incorporating architectural elements from his experiences during the Crusades.
French monarchs including Philip IV, Charles VI, and Louis XI frequented the castle for hunting expeditions hosted by the Counts of Saint-Pol.
The best preserved section remains the entrance gate named Porte du Bourg, featuring two round towers from the 14th century.
The castle's original square keep was transformed into a circular tower with four corner turrets by Count Guy III around 1275.
