Château de Villegongis, Medieval castle in Villegongis, France.

Château de Villegongis is a stone fortress featuring symmetrical walls, large windows, and ornately carved towers that reflect medieval construction methods. The structure has been carefully maintained throughout the centuries.

The fortress was built in the medieval period as a defensive structure and later received decorative Renaissance elements. These changes show how the tastes and needs of its residents evolved over the decades.

The place now hosts exhibitions that display regional collections and artifacts telling the stories of the families who lived here. Visitors can explore how noble residents shaped the area over centuries.

Visiting is mainly possible between spring and autumn when the gates are open to the public. Guided tours are available to help visitors understand the building's history and architecture in depth.

The building combines defensive features from medieval times with decorative touches from the Renaissance, creating a rare visual record of architectural change. Visitors can clearly see this blend of styles when walking through the rooms and corridors.
