Château de Chazelet, Medieval castle in Chazelet, France
The castle stands with five round towers and one square tower, surrounded by water-filled moats and equipped with arrow slits and machicolations.
François Pot constructed the present castle in 1540 after obtaining permission from the Lord of Chateauroux to build a fortress with ditches and drawbridge.
Alexandre Dumas wrote two novels set at Château de Chazelet: Le Docteur mystérieux and La Fille du marquis during his regular visits.
The castle maintenance relies on volunteer programs and summer camps, allowing participants to engage in preservation activities throughout the year.
The estate features the first reinforced concrete bridge in the world, built by Joseph Monier in 1875 across the castle moat.
