Château de Châteauneuf-sur-Cher, Medieval castle in Châteauneuf-sur-Cher, France.

The castle features two parallel residential wings connected by a central building with an entrance portal flanked by defensive towers with arrow slits.

The fortress, reconstructed in the 15th century for the Culan family, underwent major renovations around 1580 under the ownership of the L'Aubespine family.

The entrance pavilion displays Renaissance architectural elements including capitals with volutes, decorated pilasters, and a frieze with triglyphs and metopes.

The castle remains closed to visitors during structural renovations, with protective measures covering terraces, retaining walls, and exterior defense towers.

During World War II, German General Botho Henning Elster stayed at the castle before negotiating his surrender to French Resistance forces in September 1944.
