An aerial view of the castle

The likely origin of the castle was in the 13th century, though its precise date of construction is unknown. It was renovated in the 17th century, though another renovation in 1901 aimed to restore its medieval appearance. It serves as a hotel today.
It is sometimes referred to as one of the most beautiful moated castles in France.

Is it just me or does there appear to be a little bit of a curve on the right side of the middle section, as if that wall once had the same facade or w/e you call it with the peaked arches on the walls on either side

You mean here (below the line)? It's definitely there.

Yeah, definitely a peaked arch there. Whether its structural, or perhaps an earlier stage, who knows.

Yep, exactly that
