Château de Betz, Medieval castle in Betz-le-Château, France.
The stone fortress stands on elevated ground with its defensive towers and walls reflecting 15th-century military architecture in the Loire Valley.
Construction of the castle began in the 13th century under Gilles de Betz and remained in the family until 1503 when Renée de Betz married François Couhé de Lusignan.
The castle represents the architectural evolution from a medieval stronghold to a noble residence, with modifications reflecting changing social standards through centuries.
The castle received official recognition as a French historical monument on April 21, 1937, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
The property became part of a larger estate under the Chaspoux family, forming a marquisate that included the domains of Verneuil and Saint-Flovier.
