Château de Rouvres, Medieval castle ruins in Rouvres-en-Plaine, France.
The remains of Château de Rouvres include a preserved tower and a well, standing as remnants of a former ducal fortress in Côte-d'Or department.
The castle, established in the 12th century, served as a preferred residence for the Dukes of Burgundy until its gradual abandonment after the duchy joined the royal domain.
In 1346, the castle gained significance as the birthplace of Philip I of Burgundy, also known as Philip of Rouvres.
The castle ruins are situated at coordinates 47.237791, 5.141834 in the southern part of Rouvres-en-Plaine commune, within the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
Margaret of Bavaria added a massive structure called the Margaret Tower in 1416, strengthening the castle's defenses during the Hundred Years' War.
