Porte Saint-Georges, Medieval gate in Vendôme, France.
The Saint-Georges Gate features fourteenth-century lateral towers adorned with machicolations and sculpted medallions on its main facade.
Built between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, this gate served as one of four primary entrances to the defensive fortifications of Vendôme.
The aldermen of Vendôme transformed this defensive structure into a town hall following its transfer by Count Jean VIII in 1467.
The monument stands at the southern edge of the city, allowing visitors to examine medieval military architecture up close.
This gate remains the only surviving structure among the four original gates that once controlled access to medieval Vendôme.
