Château de Bourg-le-Château, Medieval castle in Bommiers, France
The Bourg-le-Château features three distinct enclosures with a circular keep surrounded by an oval wall and two northern towers guarding the structure.
The castle received its first written mention in a papal bull from Pope Calixte II in 1123, followed by another reference from Pope Alexander III in 1163.
The castle stands as a testament to medieval military architecture in the Berry region, incorporating both defensive structures and a fifteenth-century manor house.
Visitors can explore the four-hectare estate, accessing the main courtyard through a drawbridge that connects to the lower courtyard of the fortress.
This fortress ranks among the largest defensive structures in Berry, featuring a castle mound and a quadrangular lower court from the thirteenth century.
