The castle of Monthelon (Saône-et-Loire, France)

Original photo by Daniel Jolivet

The origins of the castle are unknown. The oldest surviving records are from the 15th century when it was purchased by a local feudal family. The surviving buildings also date to the 15th century. The original fortifications (the walls and a moat) did not survive.

I love the outside hallway on the top floor. I wonder if there is a name for that.

There may be a more specific term to it, but the only one I can think of is "gallery".

Better than the "hallway balcony" than I was thinking of.
