Château de Chazeu, Medieval castle ruins in Laizy, France
The Château de Chazeu features a pentagonal layout covering half a hectare, with remnants of four round towers and one square tower at its entrance point.
Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor of the Duke of Burgundy, acquired the castle in the early 15th century and conducted substantial modifications to enhance its architectural grandeur.
Roger de Rabutin transformed the castle into an exemplary French residence during his exile from Louis XIV's court, receiving notable guests including Marquise de Sévigné.
The castle ruins stand near the Arroux River at coordinates 46.8972 latitude and 4.19806 longitude, with adjacent historical mills located 800 meters from the main structure.
Trees now grow in the former moat system, and the previously open courtyard has transformed into a meadow, marking nature's reclamation of this medieval structure.
