Château de Chacenay, Medieval castle in Chacenay, France
The stone castle features defensive towers, ramparts, and ditches, with its structure rising prominently above the surrounding forest landscape.
First documented in 1075, the castle underwent multiple reconstructions after damages from Louis XI's orders and a fire during the French Revolution.
The castle's armoury room contains stone gargoyles crafted by the same architect responsible for the Notre Dame Cathedral's ornamental sculptures.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds through guided tours from June to September, with advance reservations required for groups of 15 or more.
The castle served as a gathering point for crusaders during medieval times, marking its role in European military expeditions.
