Château de Vergy, Medieval fortress ruins in Reulle-Vergy, France
The fortress stood on a 510-meter hill between Dijon and Beaune, with fourteen towers and dimensions of 150 meters long by 110 meters wide.
The Vergy family built this castle in the 11th century, which remained one of France's strongest fortresses until King Henry IV ordered its demolition in 1610.
The castle housed the Priory of Saint Denis, established in 1023 by Lord Humbert de Vergy, where sixteen canons resided in one of its towers.
The ruins rest on the Vergy hilltop, located ten kilometers from the wine communes of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanée in Burgundy's Côte-d'Or department.
Between 1183 and 1187, the castle withstood an eighteen-month siege during the Vergy War, demonstrating its military superiority in medieval France.
