Noyers, Medieval village in Burgundy, France
The village center contains 19 defensive towers, numerous half-timbered houses, and stone buildings along cobblestone streets near the Serein River.
The medieval fortress, constructed in the 11th century, served as a strategic stronghold until its partial destruction during conflicts in the 14th century.
The Museum of Naive and Popular Arts presents collections of 19th-century artifacts and artworks within the preserved medieval village walls.
The village maintains regular truffle markets in autumn, where visitors can taste and purchase local products from regional producers.
The Notre-Dame church, built between 1491 and 1515, stands outside the medieval center, displaying Gothic architecture with detailed gargoyles.
