Tanlay Castle is a really beautiful Renaissance château

Tanlay Castle is a Renaissance château erected and expanded between 1550 and 1650. Although the castle has always had a residential purpose, it was designed around a rectangular moat and dotted with round towers at its extremities, in reminiscence of the previous medieval castle which it replaced. The castle is renowned for its gallery painted in trompe l’oeil and for the frescoes in the Tour de la Ligue ("Tower of the Huguenot League").
