Château de Clérans, Medieval castle in Cause-de-Clérans, France
The castle retains a tall keep and sections of fractured walls, with former living quarters, two towers, and medieval ramparts now in ruins.
During the Hundred Years War, the castle changed hands multiple times between English and French forces before Bertrand Du Guesclin captured it in 1378.
The castle represents regional medieval architecture through its remaining stone fortifications, chapel converted into living space, and defensive structural elements.
Visitors can access the castle during European Heritage Days, when this private property opens its doors for public exploration of medieval remains.
The castle served as a stone quarry in the 19th century until its purchase in 1936, leading to its protection as a historical monument.
