Chauvigny, Chateau de Gouzon
Gouzon castle now consists of a mid elventh century keep, standing
36' square. This was later nearly doubled in length
when converted into a hall keep. To the S&E a small
court was attached to join the structure to the inner line of city
walls running from east to west across the city walls. The fact
that it is directly overlooked by the nearby cathedral tower suggests
that it was designed for defending this side of the city wall and the
church behind it.
