Château-Naillac, Medieval castle in Le Blanc, France.
The Château-Naillac features two parallel keeps with smooth walls connected by a lower structure, making it a rare example of twin-tower architecture.
The fortress protected the Creuse Valley during the 12th century, with the second keep located in Poitou region no longer standing today.
The castle underwent transformations in the 15th and 18th centuries, including the modification of the courtyard that changed the original first floor into ground level.
The castle houses the Ecomusée de la Brenne, offering exhibitions about local history and remains open year-round except Mondays and holidays outside summer season.
The eastern keep contains medieval graffiti while the western keep presents a Romanesque entrance door and maintains its original vaulted basement.
