Château de Lormont, Medieval castle in Lormont, France.
The castle sits on an elevated position overlooking the Garonne River and the entrance to Bordeaux, featuring traditional French architectural elements.
The initial construction of the castle dates back to the late 11th century, with subsequent reconstructions throughout different periods of French history.
Known as the Prince Noir Castle, it served as a country residence for the Archbishops of Bordeaux following Edward of Woodstock's occupation.
The castle underwent complete renovation starting in 2007 and now includes a restaurant in its outbuildings for visitors to experience French cuisine.
In 1453, the castle hosted negotiations that marked the conclusion of the Hundred Years' War between France and England.
