Château de Jouillat, Medieval castle in Jouillat, France.
The fortress features four round towers at its corners, with crenellated machicolations positioned beneath a walkway surrounding the structure's perimeter.
Built in the 14th century as a defensive tower, the castle underwent renovation in the 19th century when it was transformed into a residential dwelling.
The castle represents the architectural evolution from military stronghold to noble residence, with modifications including the addition of period-specific chimneys.
Prior arrangements are necessary for visits to this private residence, which opens its doors during specific heritage days throughout the year.
Two stone lions from another local castle have stood guard at the entrance portal pillars since the late 19th century.
