Château de Grandpré, Historical monument in Grandpré, France.

The entrance gate features brick facades with yellow limestone chains and two spiral columns adorned with foliage decorations throughout their length.

The original castle, built on elevated ground near the town, was destroyed in 1441 by order of Charles VII before Louis de Joyeuse rebuilt it.

The castle controlled a strategic passage through the Argonne forest, known as the Grandpré Gap, referenced during the preparations for the Battle of Valmy.

Visitors can examine the Louis XIII architectural elements, particularly the Justice Gate and the defensive pavilions with their gunports.

The gate tower, named the Justice Gate, incorporates a large mullioned window positioned above the cart entrance.

Architectural style: Louis XIII style
