Chateau d'Onzain, Medieval castle in Veuzain-sur-Loire, France.
The castle stands with its stone walls, towers, and moat structures, surrounded by gardens in the Loire Valley region.
Built in 1183 as a defensive fortress by the lords of Bury, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1850 after partial demolition between 1823 and 1826.
The castle represents the architectural evolution from medieval military fortification to a residential estate through several centuries of French nobility.
Visitors can explore designated areas of the castle grounds, including selected gardens and outbuildings, while respecting private sections of the property.
Catherine de Medicis used the castle as a temporary prison for the prince of Condé during the French Wars of Religion in 1562.
