CHATEAU DE BESSAY - TOUR DE BESSAY
This magnificent Renaissance tower owes its medieval appearance to its restored old rooms, a machicolation walkway
This th century castle is a private property. The most famous character of his history is Giron de Bessay, who married in 1559 Renée de la Lande de Machecoul, daughter of a Protestant chief of the sampled country. Giron de Bessay, vice-Admiral of Guyenne, withdraws to Bessay where he built the magnificent Renaissance tower, dated 1577, called tower Henri IV - because the latter was received by the lord of the places. It owes its medieval appearance to its restored old rooms, to a round road to machicolated and to its dome, sublime. In the park of the castle of Bessay the largest pigeon in the region - 3 000 nests!
