Château de Marcilly, 15th-century castle in Cervon, France.
The stone fortress forms a triangular structure with four angular towers and two additional towers flanking the main building at its corners.
Jean de Salazart, a Spanish nobleman, constructed the castle in the mid-15th century to control the road between Clamecy and Luzy.
The castle retains military artifacts including two cannons given to Vauban by the Grand Dauphin after the capture of Philippsbourg.
The castle stands near departmental road 985, accessible through a tree-lined avenue, but remains closed to public visits as private property.
The underground gallery in the park houses a colony of Lesser Horseshoe bats, discovered during a December 2019 survey.
