Château de Villars-en-Azois

The castle features a main building with a simple facade, two dome-roofed wings, and a medieval cylindrical tower with arrow slits spanning two floors.

The original fortress, built in the 16th century for Jean de Chastenay, was partially demolished and rebuilt between 1771 and 1780 in the Louis XVI style.

The castle maintains historical elements including protected facades, roofs, a ground floor salon fireplace, and a 16th-century tower registered as a historic monument.

Located at 12 Rue de la Division Leclerc in Villars-en-Azois, the castle stands 5.6 kilometers from Laferté-sur-Aube and 18 kilometers from Châteauvillain.

Georges Quilliard created watercolor paintings in 1878 depicting various facades of the castle, documenting its architectural features for future generations.
