Château d'Armentières, Medieval castle in Armentières-sur-Ourcq, France.

The fortress features a quadrangular main building measuring 35 meters in length, with four corner towers and defensive walls from different periods.

Built in 1297 by the Knights of Armentières, the castle underwent major modifications during the 16th century under the ownership of Gilles Juvénal des Ursins.

The castle's architecture combines military defense elements with noble living quarters, reflecting the evolution of French medieval construction techniques.

The ruins require immediate preservation work, particularly on the 16th-century cannon tower roof and windows to prevent water infiltration damage.

The castle's location in a marsh-surrounded valley provided natural protection, making it particularly difficult to access during medieval times.
