Château de Linchamps, Medieval castle ruins in Thilay, France.
The remains of Linchamps Castle extend across 250 meters along a rocky ridge overlooking the winding patterns of the Semoy River.
Built between 1531 and 1535 under Jean de Louvain, the castle was demolished in 1550 by order of King Henry II to stop brigandage activities.
The castle ruins retain medieval architectural elements, including low walls and collapsed chambers hidden beneath vegetation growth.
The ruins are located near the hamlet of Nohan and require a walk on rough terrain to reach the remaining fortress structures.
A naturally carved stone seat, known as the cursed bench, marks the spot where according to legend a white-clad ghost appears.
