Château de Visigneux

Château de Visigneux, Medieval castle in Lucenay-l'Évêque, France

Château de Visigneux is a granite castle in Lucenay-l'Évêque with a rectangular layout featuring one round tower, two square towers, and decorative stone bands running between each floor level. The building was constructed in its current form during 1885.

The original fortress dates back to the 13th century and once belonged to Aubert de Lucenay before undergoing significant changes. Ernest Sanson acquired the property and transformed it into its present appearance in 1885.

The chapel inside the castle was constructed to replace an older Saint Georges chapel that was demolished in 1848. The bell-gable reflects the place's religious character, which visitors can still observe today.

The castle remains private property and cannot be visited from the inside, but the outer facades and gardens are viewable from the exterior. The western side offers the best vantage point for observing the architectural details and garden layout.

The western garden displays geometrically trimmed boxwood patterns that reflect a carefully planned garden design. An orangery constructed during the same renovation period complements this landscaped outdoor area.
