PASSY-LES-TOURS CASTLE
Castle founded in the 14th century with architecture inspired by the castle of Vincennes, a ruin hosting medieval festivals.
The castle of Passy-les-Tours (private property) has been listed as a historic monument since June 28, 1927. Built on a barlong plan of about 50 m side flanked at the corners by four round towers, the castle was probably built in the late 14th century. Its architecture is inspired by the castle of Vincennes and its imposing towers give their name to the village. Very damaged by the wars of religion, the castle became in 1782, the property of the Marquis de Vergennes, who, like the successive owners, will not restore the building, leaving its stones to be used for other constructions.
The castle of Passy-les-Tours is today a splendid ruin which every year is the subject of a medieval festival. At the foot of the castle, craftsmen, workshops, falconry, children's games, night show... bring the sumptuous medieval castle back to life over a weekend.
