Château de Dortan, Historical castle in Dortan, France
The residence features two square towers, with the southern one dating from medieval times and the northern tower from the 15th-16th centuries.
The castle belonged to the Dortan family for over 530 years, with records of their ownership dating back to 1180 through their feudal ties.
During the 18th century, the castle hosted theatrical performances of Voltaire's plays when owned by Monsieur d'Uffelle, an associate of the playwright.
