This fortified castle, without niches or stalls, offers visitors the peaceful appearance of a large fortified farmhouse. La Motte-Josserand was a seigneury under the Châtellenie of Donzy, fief of the Earl of Nevers. The first document, mentioning the castle, dates back to 1248. In the th century, during the Hundred Years War, the Countess of Nevers charged Arnaud de Cervoles, said the archpriest adventurer, a small perigordian adventurer, to hunt the Anglo-Navarre bands that havoc the region. Later, another Burgundian party adventurer, Perrinet Gressart, threw his dévolu on the Nivernais. This clever captain developed the military vocation of the castle and erected a forge nearby. He settled in La Motte-Josserand in 1426, where he felt safe. In the th and th centuries, the castle went hand in hand; in the th century Mancini, the duke of Nevers, lost his military vocation.
