Château d'Esnes, Medieval castle in Esnes, France.
The Château d'Esnes features two circular entrance towers with pepper-pot roofs and thick defensive walls containing arrow slits for protection.
Built in 1007 by Alard d'Esnes, the first of twelve peers of Cambrésis, the castle underwent numerous transformations throughout subsequent centuries.
The castle retains architectural elements from multiple periods, including 15th-century facades and 18th-century reconstructions that reflect regional building traditions.
Visitors can explore sections of the western wing and the dovecote, which contains inscriptions dating back to the 14th century.
The fortress includes a substantial tower from the 13th century with three levels of vaulted rooms featuring decorated keystones and functional fireplaces.
