Renaissance château front and arcaded gallery across the entrance court · AI-generated artistic interpretation

The Château d'Oiron, in the Deux-Sèvres countryside, is a Renaissance palace built by the Gouffier family, its long wings and arcaded gallery fronting a broad entrance court. Claude Gouffier, Grand Equerry of France, completed the transformation of the medieval house in the sixteenth century and filled the château with one of the great art collections of the age. His painted gallery, made between 1546 and 1549 and fifty-five metres long, retells the story of the Trojan War.

An entrance bridge crosses the moat to the gate. The Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659 moved the frontier south and left the fortress deep inside France.
