Château de Javarzay, Renaissance castle in Chef-Boutonne, France.
The castle features two remaining towers from the original twelve, connected by a central building with characteristic mullioned windows and slate roofs.
Built in 1513 by François de Rochechouart, a companion of King Francis I, the castle became the property of several noble families through centuries.
The castle museum displays a collection of 400 traditional French regional headdresses and contains exhibits about industrialist Jean-François Cail.
The surrounding park remains open daily at no cost, offering walking paths around a fish lake and along the Boutonne River.
The interior courtyard maintains a row of yew trees that symbolically represent the twelve original towers of the medieval fortress.
