Château de Rosières, Medieval castle in Saint-Seine-sur-Vingeanne, France.
The Château de Rosières is a castle with a square tower and thick defensive walls surrounding a reception hall that features a 15th-century fireplace. The property encompasses multiple structures from different periods, including a religious building and various service buildings arranged around the central core.
The Saint-Seine family received the estate in 1321 and began construction shortly after, completing the castle by 1445. A century later, Claude Bernard-Maillard added a pavilion, showing how the property evolved across generations.
The chapel inside honors Saint George with religious artworks spanning different periods. The grounds also hold a traditional dovecote and an ornate pavilion that reflect how past residents lived and what mattered to them.
The site operates as a bed and breakfast with rooms available for small to medium groups visiting during set daily hours. Guests should check in advance since its function as guest lodging may affect when visits are possible.
An underground tunnel system connects different areas of the property, revealing how past residents planned for both defense and movement. The site sits where three historical regions meet, emphasizing its role as a border location.

Burgundy-Franche-Comté encompasses a varied heritage that spans several millennia. The region houses prehistoric sites such as the Roche de Solutré, monasteries founded as early as the 6th century like Baume Abbey, as well as medieval fortresses and Renaissance homes. Natural formations include the Osselle Cave, open to the public since 1751, and the Hérisson Waterfall, which features seven cascades over nearly 2.5 miles in the Jura mountains. The area is characterized by diverse terrain, from vineyards and mountain foothills to valleys and limestone plateaus. Visitors can explore the Cormatin Castle with its formal gardens, observe the ongoing construction of Guédelon Castle using 13th-century techniques, or explore the underground galleries of the Osselle Cave. These sites attest to human habitation and geological changes over the centuries.
