Château de Demptézieu, Medieval castle in Saint-Savin, France.

Demptézieu Castle features a hexagonal tower with a spiral staircase and stone facades dating from different construction periods throughout the centuries.

Built in the 12th century, the castle changed ownership during the Dauphiné-Savoy conflict, passing from Jean II of Vienne to Amadeus V of Savoy in 1314.

The castle remains demonstrate defensive construction techniques with its 1.30-meter-thick enclosure wall and its original fifteen towers.

The castle, visible from outside, is located at 75 Impasse du Château in Saint-Savin and opens during Heritage Days in September.

The circular keep connects to three towers through an enclosure wall, forming a quadrangular structure with minimal openings.
