Château de Filain, Renaissance castle in Filain, France
The castle combines four round towers, two square towers, and enclosure walls with dry moats integrated into its architectural design.
The Sacquenay family initiated the castle construction around 1550, incorporating elements from a 15th-century fortified house into the structure.
The guard room maintains a Renaissance fireplace that demonstrates the construction methods and decorative styles of the 16th century.
The castle stands 13 kilometers south of Vesoul in the Haute-Saône department of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
General Baron Jacob François Marola, who protected Besançon from Austrian forces, owned the castle for forty years starting in 1808.
