Château de Madic, Medieval castle in Madic, France.
Madic Castle stands on an elevated mound with four circular towers at the corners of a rectangular structure near the Dordogne valley.
The fortress was constructed between 1469 and 1480 under the direction of Gilbert de Chabannes, governor of Limousin, replacing an earlier 13th-century structure.
The castle maintains a collection of nine tapestries depicting the Nine Worthies, representing medieval French artistry.
The castle walls measure over three meters thick and contain specialized openings designed for cannon placement.
The location features two distinct castles: the medieval fortress ruins and a 19th-century construction built lower down by the Espinasse family.
