Château de Commarin, Medieval castle in Commarin, France
The castle features two cylindrical towers with conical roofs, a vaulted chapel, and stands within an English-style garden surrounded by a moat.
First mentioned in 1214 as a fortified house, the castle underwent major reconstruction in 1346 under Jean and Jacques de Cortiamble, chamberlain to Philip the Bold.
The interior displays a collection of heraldic tapestries from 1515, depicting armorials of the Dinteville-Pontailler family and reflecting French nobility traditions.
The castle welcomes visitors from April through November, with guided tours available daily between 10 AM and 6 PM, extending to 7 PM in July and August.
For over 900 years and 26 generations, the castle has remained in the same family's possession, avoiding both sale and looting during the French Revolution.
