Château de Vendôme, Medieval castle ruins in Vendôme, France
The Château de Vendôme sits on a hill overlooking the Loir River, with its remaining walls and Poitiers Tower standing as principal features.
The castle's first stone fortifications date back to the 11th century, later becoming the residence of the Bourbon-Vendôme family until their ascension to French throne.
The castle grounds include a 19th-century English garden featuring an 1807 cedar tree and a collection of hydrangeas from local horticulturists.
The castle park remains open throughout the year with varying seasonal hours, from 9:00 to 22:00 in summer and 9:00 to 18:00 in winter.
The medieval enclosure contains the remains of Saint-Georges collegiate church, reflecting the power of the Counts and Dukes of Bourbon-Vendôme.
