Chateau de Vincennes | Loire Valley, France

 

Located in the town of Vincennes, France, the fortress is situated just outside Paris. It was built between 1340 and 1410 for Louis VII and was meant to serve as a hunting lodge. Most of the original castle was destroyed and what remains is from reconstruction that took place during the 14th century. It was abandoned by the royal family and later became the site of the Vincennes porcelain factory. The castle is surrounded by a stone-lined moat and three large gates.
