Château de Vandenesse, Medieval castle in Vandenesse, France.

The castle features a massive square keep with machicolations, two oval towers from the 15th century, and a square tower in the Burgundy region.

Originally built as a fortified house in 1368, the castle underwent major transformations by the Chabannes family in the late 15th century.

The castle received official recognition as a registered historic monument in 1998, protecting its facades, roofs, outbuildings, and 15th-century fireplaces.

Located in the Dragne valley near the Aron river, the castle can be viewed from the outside but interior visits are not permitted.

The castle's position in a valley, rather than on a hilltop like other regional fortresses, distinguishes it from neighboring defensive structures.
