Château de Dampierre-sur-Boutonne
Château de Dampierre-sur-Boutonne, Renaissance castle in Dampierre-sur-Boutonne, France.
The castle features two symmetrical towers flanking the main building, surrounded by water-filled moats and French-style gardens with flowerbeds.
Construction of the castle began in 1495 under François de Clermont upon his return from the Italian wars and was completed around 1475.
The castle contains an alchemical gallery with 93 decorated ceiling panels displaying intricate symbols and Renaissance motifs designed by Jeanne de Vivonne.
The castle opens from July to September, with guided tours available Monday afternoons and full days during the rest of the week.
The south tower houses a dedicated space to Salvador Dali, who spent time at the castle, alongside a cabinet of curiosities from nature.
