Château de Châteaugay, Medieval fortress in Châteaugay, France.
The medieval castle features a square keep, two circular towers named Fort and Perrière, and protective walls built with Volvic stone.
Pierre de Giac, chancellor to King Charles VI, constructed the castle in 1381 on the ruins of an 11th-century fortress.
The castle appears in the Guillaume Revel armorial, a significant 15th-century heraldic manuscript depicting fortifications of the Auvergne region.
Guided tours operate Tuesday through Sunday afternoons during July and August, allowing visitors to explore the medieval architecture.
The castle cellar, known as Gaycoeur, maintains the tradition of wine production that received recognition from King Henry IV.
