The château du Fort-des-Salles stands in Mayet, in the Sarthe department, built on the remains of a defensive stronghold dating from the 14th century. Machicolations and lateral bretèches still testify to its original military purpose, linked to the defense of the Maine territories under Henry II Plantagenet. The old tower and the postern gate are the most notable surviving features of the fortified complex.
