The Château de Pondres stands in Villevieille, near Sommières, within a large wooded estate in the Gard department. Its medieval keep was incorporated in the 17th century into a larger U-shaped building flanked by square towers. Defensive features such as loopholes and a machicolation sit alongside more refined details, including a domed turret topped with a polyhedral stone ball. The building now houses a hotel and a restaurant.
