Château d'Issou, Medieval castle in Issou, France
The castle complex includes a round dovecote and a square tower, which are remnants of the original 16th-century feudal manor structure.
The Duke of Bouillon acquired the property in 1750, during which time the Marquise de Pompadour reportedly frequented the castle grounds.
The castle served as a filming location for notable French cinema productions, including 'Camille Claudel' in 1987 and 'Brotherhood of the Wolf' in 2001.
The municipality estimates renovation costs at 5 million euros, with 1.5 million allocated specifically for structural preservation of the building.
A cylindrical dovecote bears the Latin inscription 'Horace Non Numero Nisi Serenas', reportedly left by the Marquise de Pompadour during her visits.
