Château de Lourdon, Medieval castle ruins in Lournand, France
The castle remains include a half-destroyed circular tower in the south, the Powder Tower in the north, and foundation walls on a trapezoidal platform.
The initial castrum, mentioned in the 9th century, became a regional administrative center in 910 when the Count of Mâcon donated it to monk Bernon.
The castle grounds contain a large game hall from the 16th century, which research confirms was used for playing indoor sports by nobility.
The Castrum Lordo association manages the site with volunteers working every Thursday to maintain and preserve the historical structures for visitors.
The castle sits within a 15-hectare wooded park surrounded by a three-kilometer wall, offering extensive archaeological evidence of medieval fortification systems.
