Château de Tennessus, Medieval castle in Amailloux, France
This 14th-century stone castle features a complete moat system, a functional drawbridge, defensive loopholes, and a parapet walk along its walls.
The castle survived a demolition order during the French Revolution in 1793 when its owners fled, leaving the structure abandoned but intact.
The castle maintains five distinct medieval-style chambers of 100 square meters each, including the Seigneuriale room with period furnishings and heraldic decorations.
Visitors can stay overnight in this heritage-listed castle, which provides modern amenities such as private bathrooms, Wi-Fi access, and a swimming pool.
The property incorporates two shortened defensive towers that protect a rectangular courtyard, with a date inscription from 1771 on the northern residence.
