Château de Germolles, Gothic castle in Mellecey, France.
The Château de Germolles features high stone walls, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and decorative elements characteristic of medieval French aristocratic residences.
Built in 1385, the castle transformed from a fortified granary into a residence for the Dukes of Burgundy under the direction of architect Drouet de Dammartin.
The castle exhibits medieval wall paintings, decorative tiles, and architectural details that demonstrate the artistic preferences of French nobility in the 14th century.
Guided tours lasting 75 minutes are available in French and English, with admission priced at 9 euros for adults and reduced rates for students.
The castle preserves original 14th-century decorative elements, including painted walls with letter M patterns and thistles representing Margaret of Flanders.
