Château de Bagneux, Medieval castle in Bournan, France.

Bagneux Castle features a square base with four corner towers, of which two retain their original conical slate roofs and defensive machicolations.

Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, the estate was first named Baniolus in 816 before becoming Baigneux and later Bagneux de Bournan.

The mullioned windows in the towers and facade demonstrate the evolution from a military fortress into a noble residence over the centuries.

Listed as a historical monument since 1927, the castle is located at 139 Bagneux in Bournan, Indre-et-Loire department, and remains private property.

The north tower enabled fire signal communication with neighboring fortresses, including Loches Castle and the Tour de Galles.
