Château-fort de Péronne, Medieval fortress in Péronne, France
The castle features four round sandstone towers, with two of them protecting the main entrance and connecting curtain walls dating from the 13th century.
Philippe Auguste transformed the existing structure into a royal residence in the early 13th century, establishing its current architectural layout with military fortifications.
The castle houses the entrance to the Historial of the Great War since 1992, presenting regional history during World War I through exhibitions.
Visitors can explore underground passages, guard rooms, dungeons, and two brick-vaulted chambers containing arrow slits and cannon positions facing outward.
King Louis XI was held prisoner in this castle in October 1468, leading to the signing of the Treaty of Péronne under Charles the Bold.
