Château de La Côte-Saint-André, Medieval castle in La Côte-Saint-André, France
The castle stands prominently on elevated ground with a central building and northern wing, featuring French-style ceilings and a monumental fireplace in the Louis XI hall.
Philippe I of Savoy initiated the construction in 1273 to protect the town from Dauphinois soldiers, and the castle later became a venue for official Dauphiné ceremonies.
The castle's courtyard transforms during the annual Festival Berlioz into a concert venue accommodating 1,400 spectators for symphonic performances.
The castle houses a music school and meeting rooms, accessible by two pedestrian staircases from the town center or by car through a road network.
Dutch painter Johan Barthold Jongkind created numerous watercolors of the castle in 1878, contributing to the early impressionist movement.
