Château de Sercy, Medieval castle in Sercy, France
The rectangular fortress features defensive towers at each corner and a central watchtower protecting the Grosne Valley entrance from its elevated position.
The castle underwent major transformations between 1427 and 1464 under Guillaume de Sercy, who served as the first squire to the Duke of Burgundy.
The castle incorporates different architectural periods, from early Romanesque foundations to fifteenth-century military innovations in its current structure.
The castle opens its doors to visitors during European Heritage Days, allowing exploration of its external architecture and defensive features.
The castle contains a preserved wooden palisade from the fifteenth century, mounted on stone corbels with original oak framework intact.

Saône-et-Loire reveals a heritage that is not just scenery. The heights of Morvan still bear the traces of Bibracte, an ancient oppidum where Gallic history was written. Autun recalls Roman power with one of the country's largest ancient theaters. Further south, fortified villages, Romanesque abbeys, and castles add a medieval and Renaissance layer to this mosaic. Le Creusot tells of the entry into the industrial age. Between ancient stones, wooded landscapes, and religious sites, the region gathers locations that highlight the depth of its history.
