Château de Saint-Priest, Medieval castle in Saint-Priest, France
The fortified castle stands on a hill with four towers, featuring both medieval architecture and modern glass additions for contemporary functions.
Built in the 14th century for the Richard family, the castle changed ownership to the Guignard family in 1645, who enhanced its structure with gardens.
The west tower displays a carved salamander, the emblem of King Francis I, representing divine protection during the French Renaissance period.
The castle offers 1000 square meters of modular spaces across multiple levels, accommodating 450 guests for cocktails and 250 for gala dinners.
Archaeological excavations in 1995 revealed Gallo-Roman remains beneath the castle, including a funeral stele from the 2nd or 3rd century.
