Château de Pressac, Medieval castle in Saint-Quentin-sur-Charente, France.
The castle features a central lodge with nine window bays, five high dormers, and two defensive towers equipped with arrow slits and gun ports.
Originally constructed in the 13th century, the castle was burned by English forces during the Hundred Years' War and remained in ruins until 1543.
The castle served as one of four baronies within the principality of Chabanais, representing noble influence in the Charente limousine region.
Located 50 kilometers northeast of Angoulême, this private residence stands on elevated terrain surrounded by a stone-walled park.
During World War II, the castle functioned as a resistance headquarters where Colonel Bernard's men conducted operations against collaborators.
