Château de Roanne, Medieval castle in Roanne, France
The castle presents a 15th-century tower and an 18th-century main building, combining different architectural elements in its stone construction.
Initially constructed in the 11th century by Bérard de Roanne, the fortress served as a defense structure, courthouse, and prison until 1810.
The tower contains a special room featuring a vaulted ceiling decorated with one hundred painted coats of arms from the 16th century.
The castle houses the tourist office and offers free access to its grounds, though the interior remains closed to public visits.
The twenty-meter-high square tower incorporates raw stones and small granite blocks added throughout different construction periods.
