Château d'Ardelay, Medieval castle in Les Herbiers, France.
The Château d'Ardelay features a 15th-century defensive architecture with a square keep and machicolations overlooking the inner courtyard.
The initial wooden construction on a feudal mound was replaced by a stone structure in the 11th century, marking the beginning of the current castle.
The castle hosts temporary exhibitions in its 16th-century main residence, decorated with granite fireplaces characteristic of the region.
Visitors can discover three levels connected by a spiral staircase and explore the different rooms during exhibition hours.
The castle retains marks from German troops who, during World War II, removed certain beams to use them as firewood.
