Château de Xaintrailles, Medieval castle in Xaintrailles, France.

The Château de Xaintrailles stands with its 13th-century tower, northern residence building, and two distinctive corner towers connected by the western wing.

The castle gained prominence through Jean Poton de Xaintrailles, who fought alongside Joan of Arc before his death in 1461.

The architecture reflects different construction periods, from medieval military features to Renaissance residential additions with fan-shaped corbel turrets.

The castle received classification as a historical monument in 1840, making it one of the first protected heritage sites in France.

The defensive structure retains its original 13th-century keep, which received window modifications during the 15th century renovations.
