Château de Villemont, Ruined castle in Vensat, France.
The castle features a hexagonal courtyard of honor surrounded by walls with square balusters and elongated low stables on the grounds.
Originally part of the County of Montpensier, the castle was seized by King François I in 1547 following the treason of Charles III de Bourbon.
The castle received the distinguished visit of King Charles IX and Catherine de Médicis in 1566 during their royal tour of France.
The castle underwent preservation efforts starting in 1995 after remaining abandoned for 40 years following a devastating fire in 1958.
The French-style gardens extend to the south of the castle, while star-shaped equestrian paths radiate from the north section.
