Château de Sainte-Mère, 13th century castle in Sainte-Mère, France.
The rectangular fortress incorporates two towers on its northern facade and features narrow arrow slits for defensive purposes throughout its walls.
Bishop Géraud de Monlezun constructed this castle in 1279 during the Treaty of Amiens to protect the border between French and English territories.
The castle served as a residence for the bishops of Lectoure until the French Revolution, when Emmanuel-Louis de Cugnac was the last occupant.
The castle stands at 10 Rue du Château in Sainte-Mère, with GPS coordinates at 44.005556 latitude and 0.666944 longitude for precise navigation.
The ground floor contained only narrow arrow slits and functioned as a storage area, while the second floor housed living quarters for bishops.
