Château de Maulnes, Renaissance château in Cruzy-le-Châtel, France
The pentagonal castle features five towers surrounding a central structure with an integrated well and spiral staircase spanning six levels.
Construction began in 1566 under Antoine de Crussol and Louise de Clermont, with work continuing through regional conflicts until completion in 1573.
The castle design incorporates mathematical and geometric principles of Renaissance architecture, reflecting the intellectual movements of 16th century France.
Visitors need to climb several steps through a wooded area to reach the entrance gate, with shuttle service available for persons with reduced mobility.
The central well serves all six floors of the structure, demonstrating advanced hydraulic engineering techniques of the Renaissance period.
