Château de Charencey, Medieval castle ruins in Chenecey-Buillon, France.

The stone remains of Château de Charencey stand on a rocky spur overlooking the Loue River from a height of 120 meters.

The castle underwent military adaptations in 1408 under Jean III de Chalon-Arlay to accommodate the introduction of firearms and defense improvements.

The castle grounds span over three hectares and were divided between two noble families: the Andelot managing the front castle and Arguel the rear section.

The ruins are protected as a French Historical Monument since April 8, 1991, with preserved elements including substructures and archaeological remnants.

The fortress featured a round tower with pointed arch windows at its eastern end, providing extensive views across the Loue valley.
