Château de Genoud, Medieval castle in Certines, France
The Château de Genoud features three main towers and symmetrical outbuildings that form a semicircle around the main entrance gate of the fortress.
Built in the early 14th century, the castle belonged to Pierre de Genost until 1530, when Antoinette de Genost transferred the property through marriage.
The castle interior contains architectural elements from multiple periods, including 17th-century living quarters and a 19th-century staircase leading to the tower.
Visitors can access the castle grounds via a tree-lined pathway starting from the crossroads marked by a stone cross near Route de la Tranclière.
The castle's original drawbridges remained intact until the French Revolution, when they were dismantled along with several defensive structures.
