Fortified château with tower and defensive wall on a hilltop in France

The château rises on a hilltop, marked by a tall square tower, several corner turrets and steep conical roofs. Defensive walls and dry stone walls enclose the grounds, with a round, walled structure topped by a dark conical roof in the foreground. The surrounding trees are bare, and a winding path leads up to the estate. Warm evening light falls across the stone and the open landscape beyond.
