Château de Ray-sur-Saône, Medieval castle in Ray-sur-Saône, France.

The castle stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the Saône Valley, with a six-hectare landscaped park surrounding the structure.

Built in the 10th century as a fortress, the castle underwent major reconstruction in the 18th century after suffering damage during the Ten Years' War.

The interior maintains collections of period furniture and decorative elements representing different architectural styles from the Middle Ages through the 18th century.

Guided tours require advance reservations and cost 6 euros per adult, with special rates available for specific groups.

The castle remained in the same family's possession for over 900 years before being donated to the Haute-Saône department in 2015.
