Château Saint-Sixte, Renaissance castle in Freistroff, France.
The stone castle features an oval layout with four polygonal towers at each corner, connected by buildings surrounding an enclosed courtyard.
Built in the 12th century by Wirich de Valcourt, the castle underwent substantial modifications during the Renaissance period and 18th century.
The castle earned the classification as a French Historical Monument in 1991, preserving its architectural heritage for future generations.
Visitors can take guided tours every afternoon from April through October, with weekend tours offering detailed exploration of the castle grounds.
The castle retains its original moat system and demonstrates an unusual oval architectural design that differs from traditional square fortifications.
