Brienne-le-Château, Medieval castle commune in Aube, France
The Château de Brienne stands on a promontory, featuring walls, a stone tower, chapel, courtyard, and numerous preserved outbuildings from different construction periods.
Napoleon Bonaparte studied at the École de Brienne military school from 1779 to 1784 before becoming Emperor of France.
The medieval County of Brienne produced notable rulers, including John of Brienne who became King of Jerusalem and Latin Emperor of Constantinople.
The château functions as a specialized medical care center since 1959, with limited public access during summer guided tours.
The castle retains all original outbuildings, making it one of the few large French castles with complete peripheral structures.
