Saint-Martin Castle in Dordogne blends an older square keep with 16th-century structures. Its defensive character is marked by a corner watchtower corbelled outward, typical of noble strongholds from that period. The building sits within a moated estate that includes formal grounds, terraces, and hydraulic features.
