Château de La Garnache, Medieval fortress ruins in La Garnache, France.
The castle structure includes six round towers and one square tower connected by curtain walls on a strategic elevated position.
Built in 1045 at the crossroads of Brittany, English Poitou, and the Kingdom of France, the fortress served as a military stronghold.
The castle's architectural elements showcase the evolution of defensive military construction methods from the 10th to the 13th century.
Access to the castle grounds requires prior arrangements as the property remains under private ownership with limited public access.
An underground passage starting from the East tower extends beneath the castle mound, leading to a circular chamber.
