Château fort de Nesle, Medieval fortress in Nesle-et-Massoult, France.
The castle structure includes two square towers overlooking a lower courtyard, with remaining walls dating from the 13th century on multiple terraces.
In 1418, Jacques de Courtiambles requested rights to use the castle's woodlands, demonstrating the importance of this lordship with high judicial authority.
The fortress served as a center of local justice, with records indicating numerous trials and executions taking place within its jurisdiction.
The castle remains are privately owned and closed to public visits, with only external views possible from surrounding areas.
An octagonal tower stands among the ruins, representing one of the few remaining architectural elements from the original medieval structure.
