Château de Berzé-le-Châtel, Medieval castle in Berzé-le-Châtel, France.
The fortress stands on a rocky spur overlooking the Petite-Grosne valley and Mâconnais vineyards, featuring three defensive walls and thirteen remaining towers.
Built in the 10th century, the castle received its fortified walls and fourteen towers in 1229 under Lord Hughes de Berzé to protect Cluny Abbey.
The castle displays architectural elements from different periods, including a 12th-century gatehouse, square keep, and ghost tower from the 11th century.
Visitors can explore the castle from April to November through guided tours or independent visits, discovering medieval rooms and an underground chapel.
The castle maintains French and English gardens, along with a kitchen garden that received the 'remarkable gardens' classification in 2011.
