Château du Théret, Medieval castle in La Saunière, France
The château features two round towers, one square tower with a spiral staircase, and a two-story building with machicolations and a walkway.
The initial construction of Château du Théret began in 1380, followed by significant modifications in 1645 that included adding new wings and turrets.
The architecture combines military defensive elements from the Middle Ages with Renaissance additions, representing the evolution of French fortification designs.
The castle remains a private residence without public access, situated at coordinates 46.1243° N latitude and 1.93715° E longitude in central France.
A 16th-century fountain in the courtyard received historical monument status in 1931, preceding the protection of the castle's facades and roofs in 1965.
