Château des Quat'Sos, Medieval castle in La Réole, France.
The Château des Quat'Sos stands on a promontory above the Garonne river, featuring four distinct corner towers that define its military architecture.
King Henry III of England completed the construction between 1230 and 1250, building upon an initial tower established by Richard the Lionheart in the late 12th century.
The Thomasse tower bears the name of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, representing the strong medieval connections between England and France.
The castle opens during European Heritage Days, offering visitors opportunities to explore its architectural elements and learn about medieval defense systems.
The castle witnessed one of the earliest recorded uses of cannons in Western Europe during a siege in 1324, documented in historical manuscripts.
