Château d'Épinac, Medieval castle in Épinac, France.

The castle features two remaining towers built of stone, with delicate windows and rises across three levels above the Drée valley.

First documented in 1209 as Monetoy, the castle changed ownership in 1430 when Pierre de Bauffremont transferred it to Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of Duke Philip the Good.

The castle demonstrates the architectural evolution from medieval fortification to noble residence through its remaining structures and modifications across centuries.

Located at coordinates 46.9922° N, 4.51444° E, the castle stands as private property and remains closed to public visits.

Two industrialists, Jacob-Samuel and Aaron Blum, rescued the castle from complete destruction by purchasing and restoring it in the early 20th century.
