Château de Châteaudun, located in the town of Châteaudun in France, is a remarkable example of French medieval and Renaissance architecture. Built between the 12th and 16th centuries, the château boasts an impressive blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles. It features a formidable keep, elegant residential buildings, and a chapel adorned with exquisite stained glass windows. The château's strategic position on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Loir River made it a significant military stronghold in its early days, while its later expansions reflect the grandeur and artistic sensibilities of the Renaissance period.
