Château fort de Meursault, Medieval fortress in Meursault, France
The stone fortress stands with its square tower, mullioned windows, and Renaissance-style fireplace within the heart of the Burgundy wine region.
Construction of the fortress began in 1337 under Lord Robert de Grancey and underwent multiple modifications during the 15th, 18th, and 19th centuries.
The castle became the Meursault town hall in the 19th century, featuring traditional Burgundian glazed tile roofing characteristic of regional architecture.
The fortress houses municipal services and appears in guided tours of Meursault, with visits available during standard administration office hours.
The building served as a filming location for the 1966 French comedy movie 'La Grande Vadrouille' with Louis de Funès and Bourvil.
