Château de Tiffauges
Château de Tiffauges is a medieval hilltop castle in Tiffauges, Vendée, France, positioned at the confluence of the Sèvre Nantaise and Crûme rivers. Built and modified between the 12th and 16th centuries, it is historically associated with Gilles de Rais. The site today is conserved and used for public events and displays of medieval machines.

As it stood in 1430
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact hilltop fortress of warm-beige coursed rubble stone with a thick, crenellated curtain wall and a prominent cylindrical keep rising above the enclosure. The main entrance is a round-arched gate set into the curtain with a large heraldic banner hung over it. Rounded towers punctuate the curtain; the walls step down the grassy, steep slopes toward the rivers below. Stone texture is rough masonry with narrow slit openings and a continuous wall-walk at the crest.
