Château de Beaugency, Loiret, France. Originally built during the medieval period, it was a seigneurial residence that first belonged to the Lords of Beaugency, then to the kings of France and the Dukes of Orléans until the [French Revolution](https://www.worldhistory.org/French_Revolution/) of 1789. Home to Jean de Dunois (1402-1468), known as the Bastard of Orléans and comrade-in-arms to [Joan of Arc](https://www.worldhistory.org/Joan_of_Arc/) (c. 1412-1431), the château witnessed some important events in French history: historical figures such as Louis XI of France (r. 1461-1483), Francis I of France (r. 1515-1547), and Joan of Arc all passed through its main doorway, known as the Porte St Georges. Once the home of the Princes of Dunois, it is now a private residence and digital art centre since 2021.
