Château de l'Escoublère, Renaissance castle in Daon, France.
The castle features an entrance tower with bell-shaped domes, twin windows framed by pilasters, and a pentagon-shaped courtyard containing a stone well.
Jean des Salles constructed the initial structure between 1530 and 1535, with additional fortifications added during the French Wars of Religion in 1570.
The stone well displays a Latin inscription from 1570 expressing concerns about civil war: In te Domine, speravi, non confundar in aeternum.
The castle opens its exterior areas to visitors during summer months and participates in national heritage day celebrations throughout the year.
The entrance includes a gatehouse protected by two towers, originally accessed by a drawbridge that was later replaced with a stone bridge.
