Château des Bories, Medieval castle in Antonne-et-Trigonant, France.
The rectangular structure of Château des Bories features two round towers and a square tower containing a monumental staircase built between 1497 and 1604.
During the French Revolution of 1789, the castle survived a planned demolition, losing only its courtyard walls while the ditches were filled.
The architectural design of Château des Bories established new standards for grand staircases that influenced French castle construction throughout the 17th century.
The castle maintains its original defensive features including machicolated towers, a former drawbridge location, and a preserved dry moat surrounding the structure.
A southeastern bartizan provides strategic viewpoints while a dedicated spiral staircase turret allows direct access to the castle's rooftop areas.
