Château de Chissey-en-Morvan, Medieval castle in Chissey-en-Morvan, France
The château features a square tower with living quarters, vaulted cellars, and a gallery overlooking a courtyard surrounded by defensive structures.
The first documented owner of the castle was Eudes of Chissey in 1271, followed by the powerful bishops of Autun who held it as a fief.
The castle chapel, established in 1668 by Chrétienne de Montmoyen, maintained a schedule of three weekly masses for the local community.
The castle welcomes visitors every Saturday and Sunday in July, daily in August, and weekends in September with guided tours of the grounds.
Napoleon Bonaparte spent time at the château during his return journey from Elba in 1815, marking a significant moment in French history.
