Château de nouvelle Forteresse

The castle consists of stone walls reaching 10 meters in height, constructed with dry masonry techniques and featuring six distinct courtyards.

Built in the early 15th century, the castle served as a defensive structure protecting the region from attacks by the lord of Katsuren Castle.
