Donjon de Day, Medieval keep in Neuville-Day, France.
The stone keep contains three circular rooms spread across multiple floors, featuring a spiral staircase in its secondary tower and defensive elements in its walls.
Built in 1243 by Sigebaud, a companion of King Louis IX of France, the keep suffered substantial damage from a fire during the 18th century.
The guard room displays a decorated fireplace bearing the Bohan-Ligneville coat of arms, marking the marriage between these noble families in 1498.
Tours are available from May through November with advance reservations at €4 for adults and €3.50 for groups.
Local tales mention an underground passage connecting the keep to the Marshal of France's castle in Mont-de-Jeux during the 17th century.
