Château de Bresse-sur-Grosne, Medieval castle in Bresse-sur-Grosne, France
Château de Bresse-sur-Grosne is a medieval fortress in Burgundy's countryside with two extending wings and a drawbridge entrance. The structure is surrounded by ancient moats and stone walls that remain visible today.
The castle's first mention appears in a papal document from 1180. Over the centuries, the property changed hands several times before eventually being converted into lodging.
The chapel inside dates from the 12th century and was renovated in 1860 with neo-Lombard style elements. The stained glass windows inside show artistic craftsmanship typical of the renovation period.
The castle is located in Burgundy's countryside and operates as guest lodging throughout the year for extended stays. Visitors should plan in advance since it functions as private accommodation and viewings need to be arranged with the management.
The estate still contains wine-making facilities from the 17th century that monks from La Ferté Abbey once built there. An ice house and a dovecote also remain on the grounds, bearing witness to the site's agricultural past.
