Château de Charry

The castle features three distinct towers, two polygonal and one round, connected by fortified walls surrounding a central courtyard with a main residence building.

Construction began in the 15th century with a keep flanked by two towers, followed by 17th-century additions and 19th-century modifications linking the main building to ramparts.

The castle served as the final residence of British writer David Garnett, a member of the Bloomsbury Group, until his death in 1981.

The castle maintains private ownership status since its 1976 registration as a historical monument, limiting access to specific areas of the property.

An underground tunnel system connects the rectangular barbican to one of the keep's towers, with cannon positions strategically placed to defend the water well.
