Château du Chambon, Renaissance castle in Bersac-sur-Rivalier, France.
The castle features a main building with an L-shaped wing, two circular towers on the back facade, and an overhanging watchtower on the main facade.
Built in 1549 by Balthazar Deaulx, the castle survived the French Revolution through Anne Renée Desmarais's efforts to protect it from destruction.
The castle represents the transition between medieval military architecture and Renaissance residential comfort through its defensive elements and ornate decorations.
Guided tours lasting over an hour are available daily between August 15th and September 30th, with individual tickets priced at 7.50 euros.
The castle entrance leads to a fortified terrace surrounded by former moats and includes a granite monumental staircase protected as a historical monument.
