Château de Faulin, Medieval castle in Lichères-sur-Yonne, France
The fortress features a quadrilateral structure measuring 90 meters by 32 meters, with a square dungeon at external angles and round towers.
The Bourgoing family constructed the castle in the late 15th century after acquiring the property in 1389, maintaining ownership for three centuries.
The castle houses multiple period fireplaces, a spiral staircase, and a vaulted chapel within one of the substantial round towers.
Visitors can access the castle exclusively through appointments or during designated French Heritage Days throughout the year.
The castle windows contain external iron bars ending in lily-shaped stems, preventing climbing while incorporating decorative elements.
