Château de Saint-Saturnin, Medieval castle in Saint-Saturnin, France.

The castle stands on a lava flow with ramparts, crenelated towers, machicolations, and a walkway surrounded by dry moats.

The castle entered royal history in 1519 when Catherine de Medici inherited it from her mother, Madeleine de La Tour d'Auvergne.

The Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul operated an orphanage within the castle walls from 1850 to 1970.

The castle welcomes visitors from April to September, offering tours that showcase its architecture and gardens.

The castle features three monumental fireplaces from the 1630 renovations, which remain intact in the main building.
