Château du Plessis, Castle in Blanzy, France.
The Château du Plessis consists of buildings around a rectangular courtyard measuring 47 meters by 43 meters, with walls reaching 1.5 meters thick.
First documented in 1279 during the succession of Duke Hugues IV of Burgundy, the castle passed through multiple noble families including the Damas, Rolin, and Levis.
The castle features a mix of architectural styles, from medieval defensive elements to 18th-century renovations and 19th-century neo-Gothic modifications influenced by Viollet-le-Duc.
The property functions as a secondary residence for the Barbentane family, with its forests and agricultural lands managed by cooperatives and private individuals.
During World War II, the château provided shelter to fifteen students and teachers, including future filmmaker Louis Malle, who later drew inspiration for 'Au revoir les enfants'.
