Château des Ternes, Medieval castle in Les Ternes, France.
The castle features a central residential building with two round towers at the corners and a square keep, surrounded by two-meter-thick walls.
The English destroyed the castle in 1383 during the Hundred Years War, leading to its reconstruction in the 15th century by the Espinchal lords.
The interior decorations include neo-Gothic elements and Louis XIII style murals depicting scenes from Ovid's works.
Guided tours operate from July 22 to August 15, with admission fees of 5 euros for adults and 2 euros for children.
The castle contains a medieval dungeon and a defensive walkway with machicolations added during its 15th-century reconstruction.
