Monthoiron, Vienne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

In the village of Monthoiron, in the Vienne department, two towers remain from a larger castle destroyed by fire in 1857. The Fortress Tower, also known as the Powder Tower or the Architect's Tower, stands out for an unusual reason: its design has been attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, a theory confirmed by researchers gathered in Romorantin in 2010. The nearby square tower, more modest, completes this reworked medieval ensemble. Visitors come less for a castle in the traditional sense than for these remains tied to a leading figure of the Renaissance.
