Château du Lieu-Dieu, Protected heritage castle in Boulazac-Isle-Manoire, France.

The castle features rounded towers at its corners, elevated living quarters, and a drawbridge crossing moats supplied by the Manoire stream.

Built in the early 14th century, the castle underwent modifications during the 15th century and received additional architectural elements in 1878.

The castle's remarkably narrow inner courtyard and defensive features demonstrate the military architecture prevalent in medieval French fortifications.

The castle remains in private ownership, with its facades, roofs, dovecote, and moats protected under heritage status since April 30, 1959.

In 1387, during English occupation, the castle received the Holy Sacrament, leading to its name change to Lieu-Dieu, meaning Place of God.
