Château de Dissay, Historic castle in Dissay, France.

The Château de Dissay features multiple towers with moats, fortified walls, and architectural elements from the 15th to 20th centuries.

Pierre d'Amboise, Bishop of Poitiers, initiated the construction of this fortress in the 15th century, which served as episcopal residence until 1793.

The castle displays distinct French architectural periods through its design elements, including medieval defensive features and Renaissance decorative components.

Visitors can access the castle grounds, which include a Michelin-rated restaurant named Ô Dissay, offering modern French cuisine in historical surroundings.

Bullet marks from Admiral de Coligny's 1569 attack during the religious wars remain visible on the north tower of the castle.
