Château de Saint-Bonnet-les-Oules, Medieval castle in Saint-Bonnet-les-Oules, France
The castle features Renaissance architecture with defensive towers, a moat, and large entrance gates surrounded by stone walls.
Built in the late 12th century as a fortified house for the Counts of Forez, the castle underwent modifications in the 13th century.
The interior displays 17th-century frescoes and includes a 19th-century staircase that exemplifies French architectural development.
