Château de Chevreaux, Medieval castle in Chevreaux, France.
Château de Chevreaux is a stone fortress built on a rocky hill in the Bresse region of eastern France. The complex contains multiple rooms, defensive towers, a chapel, wine cellars, and gardens arranged according to historical records.
The fortress was founded in 1158 and came under the rule of three noble families until 1637. In that year, the army of the Duke of Longueville destroyed the fortifications and altered the site's fate forever.
The name ties back to the noble family that once ruled this land for generations. Visitors walking through the rooms can sense the presence of those who lived and governed here.
The site is open year-round for self-guided exploration at your own pace. Guided tours are available during summer months on weekdays and weekends.
Historical records from 1628 show the fortress once contained twelve rooms with fireplaces. These details offer insight today into how the space was once furnished and used in daily life.
