Château de Posanges, Medieval castle in Posanges, France.
Château de Posanges is a castle in Posanges, France, that keeps its original 15th-century military design with defensive towers and a distinctive staircase turret added around 1490. The structure was built between 1440 and 1445 as a fortified home of the period.
Guillaume du Bois, a local official and servant to the Duke of Burgundy, had this fortified home built between 1440 and 1445. It was later protected as a historical monument in 1913 and has kept its medieval form ever since.
The castle reflects how Burgundian nobility wanted to live, combining comfort inside with the ability to defend themselves. This mix of practical and impressive elements is still visible in how the building looks today.
The castle is a private home and not open to visitors for tours inside. You can view the outside from nearby streets and see the distinctive towers and the dovecote next to it.
A dovecote stands next to the main castle and was separately recognized as a historical monument in 1965. This small building shows how important such outbuildings were to the daily life of a medieval estate.
