Château du Gué-Péan, Renaissance château in Pontlevoy, France.
The château features three main buildings and four towers, connected by a stone bridge spanning across the remaining dry moats.
Originally constructed on Roman camp foundations in the 15th century by Nicolas Alaman, the château evolved from a medieval fortress to a pleasure residence.
The structure combines medieval defensive elements with Renaissance residential architecture, reflecting the transition period in French architectural development.
The château welcomes visitors from July to August, offering guided tours of the library and salons, with adult admission priced at 12 euros.
The site includes an orangerie added in 1885, which functions as a winter garden within the castle grounds.
