Château de La Chapelle-Faucher, Medieval castle in La Chapelle-Faucher, France.

The castle features an octagonal tower positioned between two round towers, accompanied by terraces and a dovecote on the grounds.

In 1369, the Black Prince partially destroyed the castle during his siege of the neighboring Château de Bourdeilles in the Dordogne region.

The architecture showcases different construction periods from the 13th to 18th centuries, reflecting the evolution of French military and residential design.

The castle received classification as a historical monument in 2001, with specific protected elements including the main building and two round towers.

Lightning struck the castle in 1916, destroying its roofs, which remain unrestored to this day, creating an open-air structure.
