Château de Vaujours, Medieval castle ruins in Château-la-Vallière, France.
The stone remains of Château de Vaujours display architectural elements from both the 12th and 15th centuries across its deteriorated walls and foundations.
Built around 1250 by either Hugues VI d'Alluye or Rotron of Montfort, the castle remained undefeated during the Hundred Years War against English forces.
The castle grounds host European Heritage Days events where visitors participate in educational activities about medieval architecture and regional history.
Guided tours lasting one hour are available daily throughout the year, with adult tickets priced at 6 euros and children under 12 entering free.
Louis XIV purchased this fortress in 1666 and granted it to Louise de la Vallière, creating the Duchy of La Vallière et de Vaujours.
