Château de Souys, Heritage castle in Saint-Menoux, France

The castle contains a large salon decorated with silver-woven tapestries depicting mythological scenes, reflecting 17th-century French aristocratic tastes.

A circular chapel topped with a dome stands next to the entrance portal, featuring strong embossments and Ionic architectural elements.
