Manoir du Chastenay
Manoir du Chastenay, Renaissance manor house in Arcy-sur-Cure, France
The Chastenay Manor rises above a network of flooded caves, featuring hexagonal stair tower and corbelled turret on its Renaissance facade.
Originally constructed in 1349 for Jean de Lys, the manor underwent significant reconstruction in 1549 for the d'Aulnay family with later additions in 1875.
The manor displays carved symbols throughout its structure, suggesting connections to medieval alchemical research and spiritual practices of the period.
Located at 38 Grande Rue in Arcy-sur-Cure, the manor received official historical monument protection status for its facades and roofs in 1971.
The medieval enclosure includes round towers, with one serving as a dovecote, while the structure stands at the intersection of Via Agrippa and Santiago routes.
