Castle, La-Ferté-Milon (Aisne)

In French castle architecture a transition took place at the end of the 14th century: the fortress had become a country house. The transition is evident in the castle of La-Ferté-Milon, the building of which stopped in 1407 after the death of Louis, the Duke of Orléans, an active patron of the period.
