Château de Certeau, Medieval castle in Frontonas, France

The castle contains two distinct towers, with the northern one rising across four levels and featuring mullioned windows from the 15th century.

The fortified residence belonged to Antoine de Gumin in the 14th century before Jean Barge acquired it in 1400.

The lords of Certeau established a chapel dedicated to Saint Catherine in the parish church of Frontonas, ensuring regular religious services.

The castle stands as a private property with restricted access, maintaining its architectural elements despite the deterioration of certain sections.

The circular tower incorporates a spiral staircase and represents a significant archaeological element of the medieval defensive architecture.
