Château de Gageac, Medieval castle in Gageac-et-Rouillac, France.
The stone fortress stands on elevated ground, featuring a square tower, large windows, and multiple buildings overlooking the Dordogne valley and surrounding vineyards.
Originally built as a watchtower in the 12th century, the castle endured a five-day siege by Du Guesclin's forces during the Hundred Years' War in 1377.
The castle represents the evolution of French military architecture to residential comfort, with modifications spanning from the 14th through the 18th centuries.
Visitors can take guided or self-guided audio tours lasting 45 minutes, with tickets priced at 6.50 euros for adults and 3.50 euros for groups.
The castle maintains a restored pigeon loft from the 17th century that provided both meat for residents and fertilizer for the adjacent vineyard operations.
