Château de Richemont, Renaissance castle in Saint-Crépin-de-Richemont, France.
The Château de Richemont consists of two perpendicular wings that merge at a square tower with narrow arrow slits and defensive walkways.
Construction of the castle began in 1564 under Pierre de Bourdeille and continued until 1610, marking a transition between medieval and Renaissance architecture.
Pierre de Bourdeille, known as Brantôme, created literary works at the castle and now rests in its chapel following his death in 1614.
The castle opens to visitors from mid-July through August, with private tours available year-round through advance reservations with the owners.
The reception wing, completed around 1610, features higher ceilings and larger rooms compared to the original wing's lower, darker spaces from 1581.
