Built in the 15th century in Dordogne, the Manoir de l'Aubespin reflects the defensive concerns of the Wars of Religion. Its L-shaped main residence was flanked by two corner towers as part of a fortified complex that once included outbuildings and a perimeter wall. Only the main building survives today, listed as a historic monument.
