Château d'Héré, Medieval castle in Duingt, France.

The castle features a rectangular main building with square towers adorned with machicolations on its longer sides and a protective barbican entrance.

Originally constructed in the late 15th century, the castle replaced an earlier 14th-century residence while incorporating elements from the previous structure.

The first floor of the castle contains 16th-century murals that represent the artistic expressions of that period in French architectural decoration.

Documentation regarding the castle's protection status and historical records can be accessed at the Heritage and Photography Media Library in Charenton-le-Pont.

The castle's name derives from a Savoyard word meaning 'behind', indicating its geographical position in relation to the town of Duingt.
