Château de Fournels, Medieval castle in Fournels, France.
The Château de Fournels stands on an elevated position overlooking three valleys, featuring defensive towers and thick walls with arrow slits.
Construction of the castle began in 1573 under King Charles IX's reign, commissioned by Jean d'Apcher, son of Baron François Martin d'Apcher.
The castle exemplifies 16th-century French military and residential architecture, with elements typical of fortifications from that period.
Visitors can reach the castle via the D70 road, with accommodations available in nearby guesthouses throughout the region.
The castle interior, now empty and unfurnished, previously contained period furniture, tapestries, and paintings in excellent condition.
