Château du Grand-Pressigny, Medieval castle in Le Grand-Pressigny, France
The castle features a massive stone keep from the 12th century, accompanied by defensive towers and Renaissance-style residential buildings added later.
During the Hundred Years' War in 1417, the Duke of Burgundy captured the fortress, holding it for one year before Charles VII reclaimed it.
The castle houses the Department Museum of Prehistory, presenting collections dating from the Middle Paleolithic period to current archaeological discoveries.
Visitors can explore both the medieval military architecture and the Renaissance gallery through guided tours available in multiple languages.
Four tactile models demonstrate the different construction phases of the castle, allowing visitors to understand its architectural evolution through time.
