Château d'Arcy, Medieval castle in Vindecy, France.

The Château d'Arcy features circular towers built with gray sandstone and a rectangular main building attached to the western side of the structure.

Before the 13th century, the estate belonged to the barony of Semur-en-Brionnais until Jean de Semur became the first recorded lord in 1230.

The castle displays a combination of medieval defensive elements and Renaissance architectural features, reflecting the evolution of French noble residences through centuries.

The castle received monument historique inscrit status in 1983, with protection covering the entrance buildings, towers, portal, and several other architectural components.

King Louis XI visited the castle in 1482, during which time the famous Lady and the Unicorn tapestries were reportedly commissioned.
