Château du Marais, Nièvre, Medieval castle in Gimouille, France.

The castle stands on an island surrounded by moats, with two round towers on the north facade facing the Loire River.

Built in the 14th century, the castle changed names from Marisium in 1335 to Maretz in 1529 and Marais-les-Nevers in 1665.

The castle chapel, consecrated in 1517 by Bishop de la Platière of Nevers, features decorative fleur-de-lis patterns on its walls.

The castle functions as a guest house with three bedrooms in the keep, including the Chambre du Roy, Alcove, and Poterne rooms.

The property contains a 15th-century house and a 16th-century dovecote within its outbuildings, preserving medieval architectural elements.
