Château de Bonneval

The Château de Bonneval is a castle in the commune of Coussac-Bonneval in the Haute-Vienne département of France.

[1] It is notable for belonging to the same family since its construction, including Claude-Alexandre de Bonneval (1675–1747), who was given the title of Pasha after his conversion to Islam and his service with the Ottoman Empire.

A fortress has existed here since at least 930 (1095 years ago) (930), as is shown by a stone bearing that date in the masonry of the entrance tower.

[1] The castle in its present state dates from the 14th century, probably constructed by Jean I, seigneur of Bonneval.

The castle is built on a quadrangular plan, with corner towers with machicolations and pepperpot roofs.
