Château de Chitry-les-Mines, Medieval castle in Chitry-les-Mines, France.

The castle stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the Yonne River, featuring a main residence building and two perpendicular wings to the south.

The initial construction in 1307 by Isabeau de Bazoiches included a rectangular layout with round towers and a defense system with a drawbridge.

The Sibyls Gallery, located in the west wing, displays a collection of fourteen paintings from the 17th century.

Castle visits operate from mid-June to mid-September, with an entrance fee of 8 euros including documentation about Burgundy tourism.
