Le château des peintres

Les premiers châteaux furent construits en bois sur une motte castrale, avant d'être remplacés par des châteaux forts en pierres.
A castle is a type of fortified structure built during the Middle Ages predominantly by the nobility or royalty and by military orders. Scholars debate the scope of the word castle, but usually consider it to be the private fortified residence of a lord or noble. This is distinct from a palace, which is not fortified; from a fortress, which was not always a residence for royalty or nobility.
