Château d'Authon, Historical castle in Authon-Ébéon, France.
The castle features a 16th-century tower surrounded by water-filled moats fed by the Dandelot River, complemented by an English park and French courtyard.
The Authon family controlled the castle from 1130 to 1450, with the structure experiencing significant damage during the French Revolution in 1791.
The castle demonstrates the evolution of French aristocratic architecture from medieval defensive features to refined residential modifications of the 17th century.
Visitors can explore the castle, vintage vehicle collection, and gardens through guided tours from July 15 to September 23, with four daily time slots.
The Tour de la Graveline, constructed in 1588, stands as one of the remaining original elements following multiple reconstructions throughout the centuries.
