Château de Sainte-Hermine, Medieval castle in Sainte-Hermine, France.
The castle features multiple architectural elements from the 13th to 17th centuries, including preserved fireplaces and painted decorations within its stone walls.
The first known lord of the castle was Pierre Troncas in the 12th century, followed by the Mareuil family who took ownership from 1170.
The castle chapel, dedicated to Saint Irmine, influenced the town's name change to Sainte-Hermine during the 14th century under the lord's direction.
The castle maintains its status as private property while holding recognition as a registered historical monument since 2005, allowing limited visitor access.
King Louis XIII stayed at the castle in 1622 with members of the royal family, leaving architectural elements discovered during recent renovations.
