Château de Chevenon, Medieval fortress in Chevenon, France
The rectangular castle rises four stories high with two substantial round towers on the sides and features cross-window archers and cannon openings.
Built between 1382 and 1406, Guillaume de Chevenon served as captain at Vincennes under King Charles V and passed this position to his sons.
The first floor grand hall contains multiple fireplaces from the 14th century decorated with the arms of noble families who owned the property.
The main entrance on the west facade leads through two square towers to an interior courtyard with access to different castle levels.
An original acoustic warning system remains intact within the spiral staircase, which guards used to communicate between different castle sections.
