Château de Blanquefort, Medieval castle in Blanquefort, France.
The castle features a rectangular central keep measuring 18 by 10 meters, surrounded by six round towers along a 180-meter defensive perimeter wall.
The fortress held strategic importance for King Edward I and underwent modifications in the late 15th century with the addition of gun ports to its round towers.
The castle represents medieval military architecture with its combination of Romanesque foundations, 13th-century towers, and later adaptations for artillery defense.
The castle stands as a ruin and visitors need to contact +33 5 56 57 19 42 for information about access to Rue de la Forteresse in Blanquefort.
A decorated doorway adorns the central keep, while two large cannon towers on the north side overlook the access road to the fortress.
