Château de Mortemart, Medieval fortress in Mortemart, France.
The castle includes four defensive towers, two donjons, and a dry moat surrounding a circular layout built on red sandstone bedrock.
The original fortress, authorized for construction in 995 by Lord Abon Drut, underwent modifications in the 17th century under Count of Maure's restoration program.
The castle represents the ancestral home of the Mortemart family, known for their military achievements and influence in French nobility circles.
The main entrance features a drawbridge gate leading to a grand hall that connects to the courtyard through a 17th-century portal.
The castle includes a vaulted gallery supporting an elevated terrace that provides views across the Brenne region and its numerous ponds.
