Château de Chantemerle, Medieval castle ruins in La Bâthie, France.
The castle features a cylindrical main tower measuring 8.5 meters in diameter and 22 meters in height, accompanied by a square tower within the curtain wall.
First documented in 1196, the castle gained prominence in 1265 under Pierre II of Savoy, serving as a surveillance point and tax collection center for Tarentaise bishops.
The castle structure incorporates both medieval defensive elements and Renaissance residential features, including decorated fireplace designs and large windows in the main residence.
Access to the castle requires a 20-minute walk from the departmental road, with visits possible between May 1 and October 31.
The castle keep contains five distinct floor levels, with the topmost floor being the only one receiving natural light while lower floors feature arrow slit niches.
