Château de Lusignan
Château de Lusignan was a large medieval fortress in Lusignan, Vienne, France, and the ancestral seat of the House of Lusignan. Built from the 10th century and repeatedly rebuilt, it reached its height in the early 15th century and was largely dismantled in the 18th century; only foundations, parts of the keep and the base of the Tour Poitevine survive today. It is depicted at full strength in the Très Riches Heures of John, Duke of Berry.

As it stood in 1416
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a narrow promontory above steep valleys, the castle presents a long, crenellated curtain wall pierced by a barbican at the left and a sequence of round and polygonal towers, a prominent central keep, a distinct clock tower with an external garderobe chute to its right, and the taller cylindrical Tour Poitevine at the right with conical roofs and steep slate rooflines; the walls and towers are pale stone, enclosing an inner ward and overlooking the town enclosed by a lower enceinte.
