Château des Milandes

Château des Milandes is a late-15th-century château in southwest France, built of pale local stone with steep tiled roofs, multiple towers and ornate carved dormers. The present photograph shows the fully standing principal façades and park forecourt. The building is known as a historic residence rather than a military fortress.

As it stood in 1489

The shape it held in its prime.

A long south-facing façade of pale limestone with a varied steep roofline of dark clay tiles, including a tall square tower with a high pyramidal roof and corbelled machicolation band, two smaller round turrets with conical roofs on the left, and several gabled wings. The central roofline carries an ornate carved stone dormer with a sculpted pediment above mullioned windows. A stone balustraded terrace and clipped hedges occupy the foreground beneath an iron perimeter fence.
