Château de Jarnioux, Medieval castle in Porte des Pierres Dorées, France
The castle features six towers with glazed tiles, a Renaissance building with arched windows, and a drawbridge entrance pavilion dated from 1642.
Built in the 13th century, the castle was purchased by the Henry family in 1560 and later transferred to the Ménardeau family in 1642.
The Saint Catherine Chapel within the castle grounds was established in 1335 following a peace agreement that required maintaining two chaplains.
The castle remains under private ownership by the de Clavière family since 1771 and opens its doors for public visits.
The castle contains a main tower reaching 30 meters in height, housing a stone staircase and surrounded by thick defensive walls.
