Château de Pierre-de-Bresse, Renaissance castle in Pierre-de-Bresse, France.
The castle features three main buildings arranged in a U-shape, surrounded by water-filled moats and accessed through a stone bridge.
Built in 1680 for Claude de Thyard, Count of Bissy, the castle stands on the location of a former fortress mentioned in 1092.
Since 1981, the castle houses the Burgundian Bresse Ecomuseum, presenting exhibitions about regional natural environments and traditional crafts.
The castle opens daily from June through September, 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available on Tuesdays.
The entrance displays a bas-relief featuring the Thyard family coat of arms supported by greyhounds on the main building's pediment.
