Château de la Guyonnière, Medieval fortified castle in Beaulieu-sous-Parthenay, France.

The construction of the castle occurred between the 14th and 16th centuries, incorporating defensive elements such as arrow slits and two drawbridges.
The dovecote, located in one of the towers, could accommodate 800 pigeons in limestone niches, symbolizing the social status of the owners.
