Château de Saujon, Medieval castle in Saujon, France.
The castle features three wings with pavilions, surrounded by moats and includes a square tower added during nineteenth-century renovations.
Originally mentioned in the ninth century under Charlemagne's rule, the castle received construction authorization from King Louis XI in 1475 for Olivier de Coëtivy.
The castle houses dance and music schools, contributing to local arts education and maintaining its role as a center for cultural activities.
The structure underwent restoration work in 2012 and currently functions as a venue for various educational and community activities.
Cardinal Richelieu owned the castle between 1638 and 1642, planning to build a canal system to enhance regional commerce.
