Château de Jovelle, Medieval castle ruins in La Tour-Blanche-Cercles, France.
The castle ruins stand on a rocky promontory at 144 meters elevation, featuring a square corner tower with remnants of triple machicolations.
The castle, built in the 14th century, served as residence for the Black Prince during the Hundred Years War and later as headquarters for King Charles VII.
The castle chapel exemplifies medieval French religious architecture with its barrel vault ceiling and gothic window in the chancel.
The main architectural elements include a square tower, a residential building with machicolations, a circular turret, and a stone-roofed chapel.
A 17th-century stone well remains preserved in the castle courtyard, marking the period of significant modifications to the structure.
