Château du Tertre d'Ambrières, Neo-Gothic castle in Ambrières-les-Vallées, France.
The Château du Tertre combines red brick and granite construction with a grand entrance vestibule supported by granite columns and a later-added turret.
Eugène Viollet-le-Duc designed this castle between 1867 and 1872 for Auguste Griois, a wealthy individual who served as mayor of Ambrières.
The castle demonstrates Viollet-le-Duc's architectural philosophy of merging medieval elements with 19th-century modern design approaches.
The property currently operates under PGL tourist group management, offering guided visits and various activities throughout the year.
The castle features a distinctive access path that creates a specific angle with the Varenne river, incorporating local landscape elements.
