Château de Cherveux, Medieval castle in Cherveux, France.
The Château de Cherveux presents a five-sided courtyard with multiple towers, a stone bridge crossing the moat, and a central donjon.
Robert Cunningham, a Scottish nobleman, acquired the castle through marriage and conducted major reconstruction works around 1470, incorporating Scottish architectural elements.
The interior of the castle features intricate Gothic stonework and specialized carpentry techniques that form ceiling structures resembling upturned boat hulls.
The castle opens for visits every weekend from April through October, with adult admission at 10 euros and children's tickets at 5 euros.
The entrance door and window details incorporate elements from the Scottish flag, marking the connection between French and Scottish medieval alliances.
