Château de Beynes, Medieval castle in Beynes, France
The castle features an oval structure surrounded by a moat, with nine defensive towers connected by curtain walls and a central paved courtyard.
Built in 1073 as a motte-and-bailey fortress in the Mauldre River valley, the castle served as a defensive structure against potential attackers.
The structure demonstrates the transition from medieval military architecture to residential design through modifications made during the fifteenth century.
The municipality maintains ownership of the castle since 1967, with an association currently working on restoration and preservation efforts.
The castle retains two distinct châtelets at its eastern and western entrances, reflecting medieval French defensive architecture.
