Château de Blandy-les-Tours, Medieval fortress in Blandy, France
Château de Blandy-les-Tours is a medieval fortress in Seine-et-Marne featuring a hexagonal plan with six defensive towers and a central keep. The entire structure is enclosed by stone walls and a moat that still encircle the site today.
The site began as a Merovingian burial ground and was converted into a fortified manor in the early 1200s. During the Hundred Years' War between France and England, the fortress received substantial reinforcements to strengthen its defensive capabilities.
The castle serves as a place where visitors can experience how medieval life unfolded within its walls. The layout and structures show how people organized their defense and daily routines in an earlier era.
The fortress can be explored on foot, with access to the keep and towers available during certain times. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as the ground is uneven and historical buildings contain stairs.
The fortress has earned recognition for making itself accessible to visitors with mobility challenges and disabilities. Wheelchair users and those with mobility difficulties can reach many areas of the castle through adapted entrances and facilities.
