Château de Passy-les-Tours, Medieval castle in Varennes-lès-Narcy, France
The castle structure extends approximately 50 meters in length and features four round towers positioned at each corner of the building.
Jean de Chevenon, counselor to King Charles VI of France, completed the construction of this fortified residence at the end of the 14th century.
The architectural design of the castle incorporates elements from the Château de Vincennes, particularly evident in its 25-meter-high keep above the vaulted entrance.
The castle remains under private ownership and received official protection status as a French historical monument in 1927 through the Ministry of Culture.
Captain Perrinet Gressard occupied the fortress during the Hundred Years' War and opposed Joan of Arc at the siege of La Charité-sur-Loire in 1429.
