Château de Ternay, Medieval castle in Loire Valley, France
The fortress features towers, a tall keep, deep ditches, cellars with underground passages carved into rock, and a Gothic chapel with decorative elements.
Built on twelfth-century foundations, the current structure developed from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries and has belonged to the d'Aviau de Ternay family since 1606.
Charles Louis d'Arsac, born at the château in 1722, led French naval forces supporting the American Revolution and rests in Newport, Rhode Island.
The château offers guided tours in French and English, five guest rooms for overnight stays, a swimming pool, and extensive grounds for exploration.
Visitors can participate in an underground puzzle game to uncover a knight's identity while learning about heraldic art in the castle's passages.
