Grange Fort Castle, Medieval castle in Les Pradeaux, France.
The castle contains defensive towers and stone walls situated on a hilltop overlooking the Allier River in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Built in the 15th century, the fortress underwent substantial modifications by architect Viollet-le-Duc during the 19th century restoration period.
The castle represents the architectural evolution from medieval fortification to residential estate, reflecting changes in French aristocratic life through centuries.
The castle functions as a camping site with accommodation options ranging from traditional pitches to furnished chalets within its 25-hectare grounds.
In 1985, a Dutch noble family from Hengelo purchased the property and transformed the medieval fortress into a modern holiday destination.
