Château de Brugny, Historic castle in Brugny-Vaudancourt, France
Château de Brugny is a castle built with four round corner towers and a central keep arranged in a square plan. A moat surrounds the entire structure to provide defense.
The castle's origins trace to 1223 when Guy III of Chatillon pledged loyalty to the Count of Champagne for the Brugny holding. Over subsequent centuries, the fortress was reinforced and modified to strengthen its defenses.
The castle represents medieval French military architecture with its square tower near the moat and multiple defensive structures throughout the property.
The castle is protected as a historical monument and is not open for regular visitor access to its interior. Viewing the exterior structure and towers is best done during daylight hours when the architecture is most visible.
The fortress held strategic importance during the Hundred Years War as a contested location between English and French military forces in the region. This military significance shaped much of its development during the medieval period.
