Château de Bainville-aux-Miroirs, Medieval castle ruins in Bainville-aux-Miroirs, France.
The castle features a 26-meter stone spire remaining from the original 30-meter donjon, standing amid scattered stone remnants and foundation walls.
Built in 1263 by Count Henri I of Vaudémont, the fortress was destroyed in 1468 during a punitive expedition by the Duchy of Lorraine.
The castle's location near an ancient Benedictine priory and church reflects the interconnected religious and military architecture of medieval France.
The site requires careful navigation due to safety concerns, with protective barriers established around the dangerous tower perimeter.
Carbon-14 analysis reveals modifications to the donjon structure from the 15th century, shortly before its final destruction.
