Porte de Champagne, Medieval gate in Levroux, France.
The Porte de Champagne features two connected towers with an armed curtain wall, representing fifteenth-century defensive architecture in the Centre-Val de Loire region.
Built in 1436 during the reign of Charles VII, this gate formed an essential component of urban fortifications protecting inhabitants from invasions and raids.
The gate stands as the last remaining of three medieval entrances in Levroux and creates a boundary between the historical districts and modern areas.
Major restoration work includes the construction of a new staircase for upper level access and complete renovation of interior and exterior masonry.
The monument will house a permanent exhibition displaying medieval defense systems with reconstructions of bows, crossbows, and early firearms.
