Châtel de Theys, Medieval castle in Theys, France
The castle features a preserved grand reception hall with original architectural elements and medieval wall paintings depicting knightly tales.
Built in two phases between 1280 and 1330, the castle stands on the site of an 11th-century feudal mound with remaining tower foundations.
The wall paintings narrate the story of Perceval the Gallois discovering chivalry, representing a connection between medieval literature and visual arts.
The castle requires extensive renovation work on its structure, roofs, and murals before opening to visitors for guided tours and educational programs.
The main reception hall remains frozen in its late 13th-century state, containing rare medieval wall paintings that survived through centuries.
