Château de Dole, Medieval castle in Dole, France
The Château de Dole stands on a limestone ridge above the Doubs River, featuring remains of 16th-century fortified buildings and an officers' pavilion.
The castle, constructed in the 11th century, served as the capital residence for the Counts of Burgundy during the medieval period until its capture in 1479.
The former officers' pavilion of the castle has housed the Museum of Fine Arts since 1980, presenting regional art collections and historical artifacts.
The castle grounds are accessible through guided tours that explore the remaining structures, fortifications, and the surrounding defensive positions along the river.
The castle's strategic position on a natural promontory allowed its defenders to monitor river traffic and control the important salt trade routes.
