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.

Un des châteaux les plus/passionnants à visiter dans la région:original puisque c'est e seul château duXV en France qui comporte des revêtements muraux d'origine, cecsite est également passionnant par son architecture (basse et haute chapelles par exemple) et les explications de la guide, aussi érudite que passionnée, nous permettent d'approcher la philosophie de vie médiévale. A tous ceux qui aiment les belles pierres, qui aiment l'histoire, qui aiment la Bourgogne, aux passionnés du Moyen-Age comme aux amateurs de Renaissance, ce site est un must !!! Un vrai bonheur pour nous !!
