Château de Villeneuve-Lembron, Medieval castle in Villeneuve, France.
The castle forms a large quadrilateral structure with four cylindrical towers at each corner, connected by three residential wings and surrounded by deep moats.
Constructed between 1450 and 1517 by Rigaud d'Aureille, a royal steward and diplomat who gained influence through service to multiple French kings.
The interior walls display numerous 16th-century paintings featuring moral and satirical tales, along with period furniture from different historical periods.
The Centre des Monuments Nationaux manages the castle, offering guided tours lasting one hour with regular entrance fee of 7 euros.
The castle retains original 15th-century woodwork and ironwork in the Muslim living quarters, representing a rare architectural element for this region.
