Château de Mâlain, Medieval castle in Mâlain, France
The castle stands on a hilltop with substantial stone walls, defensive towers, and a monumental staircase carved directly into the bedrock.
Built around the year 1000, the fortress became a ducal stronghold in the 11th century and underwent major modifications during the 16th century.
The castle maintains its regional architectural style, reflecting the military and residential needs of French nobility through different periods.
Visitors can access the castle grounds through winding paths that start at the base of the hill and lead to the former courtyard.
The eastern half of the castle retains significant elevation while the western section shows only ground-level structural traces.
