THE CASTLE OF ARDELAY
Château d'Ardelay, one of the most remarkable examples of medieval and military architecture in the Herbiers region.
This remarkable example of medieval architecture has endured a tumultuous eleven-century history of duels, demolition and restoration. Built in the 15th century on an earlier feudal motte, it features a square keep listed as a Monument Historique, a large hall with granite fireplace, a frame supporting the pyramidal roof, and machicolations and braces visible on all 4 exterior faces. François de la Rochefoucauld, a famous author, was one of its owners. Acquired by the town in 1984, the château is now an exhibition hall.
