Château de Prunget, Medieval castle in Tendu, France.

The Château de Prunget features a Romanesque keep with flat buttresses, machicolations at the summit, and watchtowers at each corner of the structure.

Records from 1231 show that the fortification belonged to Hugh of Gargilesse and was one of nine castles under the control of Châteauroux barony.

This registered historic monument since 1927 maintains its 13th-century entrance gatehouse with two solid towers and a Plantagenet-style gate.

The castle, located in the Indre department, remains a private property and does not offer public access or guided tours to visitors.

The castle overlooks an older feudal mound and a former hospital called Maison-Dieu, creating a defensive line between English and French territories.
