Château de Vauban, Medieval fortress in Bazoches, France.
The stone castle features a grand gallery overlooking the valley, multiple residential chambers, and substantial defensive structures built into the hillside position.
Louis XIV granted the castle to military engineer Vauban following the capture of Maastricht, leading to its transformation into a military planning center.
The château holds a distinguished 'Maison des Illustres' classification, preserving the legacy of Vauban through exhibitions of armor, maps, and scale models.
Visitors can access various sections of the castle, including Vauban's personal study, bedroom chambers, and the engineering gallery where military plans were created.
The castle served as the headquarters where Vauban designed plans for 300 fortifications across France, shaping the country's military architecture.
