Château de Saint-Jean-d'Angle, Medieval castle in Saint-Jean-d'Angle, France.
The fortress stands on elevated ground with circular towers at each corner and thick stone walls surrounding the central courtyard.
Guillaume de Lusignan and Denise d'Angle constructed this fortified castle in the early 12th century to protect the valuable salt marshes.
