Château de Dracy-lès-Couches, Medieval castle in Dracy-lès-Couches, France.

The castle features a square keep and a round tower from the 15th century, positioned on a hillside overlooking the surrounding landscape.

Originally built in 1298 as a fortress, the castle underwent major reconstruction in 1547 under the direction of Morin de Cromey.

The castle's architecture combines medieval defensive elements with 19th-century neo-gothic modifications, reflecting different periods of French architectural styles.

The cellar area remains accessible to visitors while other sections of this privately owned castle maintain restricted access.

In 1728, Jacques Bouchet designed and constructed an exceptional wine cellar connecting two existing towers of the castle.
