Château d'Auxonne, Medieval castle in Auxonne, France.
The Château d'Auxonne features a pentagonal layout with five corner towers connected by thick curtain walls, forming a perimeter of 400 meters.
Built between 1479 and 1493 under King Louis XI's orders, the castle strengthened royal control over the Duchy of Burgundy after Charles the Bold's death.
The Notre-Dame Tower, measuring 20 meters in diameter with six-meter-thick walls, housed a Napoleon Bonaparte museum from 1970 to 2012.
The castle, registered as a historical monument since 1926, stands in central Auxonne near other monuments of the town.
The strategic position of the castle controlled the passage across the Saône River between the cities of Dole and Dijon.
