Château de Fléchères, Renaissance castle in Fareins, France

The castle features four square towers, deep moats, and a grand central building with smaller wings built between 1606 and 1625.

The site held military significance for centuries, with a Roman camp preceding the fortified castle that was first recorded in the 12th century.

Pietro Ricchi decorated the interior with extensive frescoes in 1632, creating the largest collection of early 17th-century Italian paintings in France.

Visitors can explore over 30 hectares of French and English gardens while viewing the architecture and furnished rooms during guided tours.

The third floor contains a hidden Protestant temple, constructed following the Edict of Nantes which allowed nobles to maintain private worship spaces.
