Château de Landreville

Landreville Castle (French: Château de Landreville) is a castle situated in the commune of Bayonville in the Ardennes

Within the territory of a 12th-century châtelain, the castle was built in the early 13th century and remodelled in the middle of the 16th century. The Château de Landreville, situated in the Argonne Ardennaise region, is a rectangular "maison forte" (strong house) flanked by four cylindrical towers with 'pepper-pot' roofs, surrounded by water-filled moats, with a six hectares park, stables and two pavilions. The castle has been classified as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 2006.

It is a rare example of a still practically intact manorial residence of the pre-Renaissance Ardennes region.
