Château du Pailly, Renaissance castle in Le Pailly, France
The castle presents a military exterior architecture with round towers at each corner, while featuring refined Renaissance decorations in its honor courtyard.
Built between 1563 and 1573 for Gaspard de Saulx de Tavannes, a companion of François 1er, the castle stands on the foundations of a 14th-century fortress.
The entrance pavilion displays the Saulx-Tavannes family motto 'Quo Fata Trahunt' alongside decorative elements including mullioned windows and lion sculptures.
