This castle is one of the best preserved residences of the Dukes of Burgundy.
In the 12th century, the Sires de Germolles built a barn on the Roman road between Beaune and Cluny, which was later transformed into a fortified house. The château became the property of Philippe le Hardi, who gave it to his wife Marguerite de Flandre. It is one of the best-preserved residences of the Dukes of Burgundy, and one of the few remaining princely palaces of the Middle Ages in France. A guided tour of the château includes its magnificent English park designed in the 19th century, its restored high chapel, its châtelet and its cellar.
