Château de Balleure, Medieval castle in Étrigny, Saône-et-Loire, France.
The castle features a rectangular layout with circular towers, including a main residential building in the east and a gatehouse tower in the north.
In 1340, Henri de Sauvement received permission from the Duke of Burgundy to fortify the residence with walls and moats around the property.
Pierre de Saint-Julien de Balleure, born in the castle in 1519, became a significant French historian who contributed to regional documentation.
The castle remains private property and maintains restricted access, requiring advance arrangements for any potential visits to the historical structure.
The castle underwent partial restoration work in 1767 under François-Emmanuel de Naturel, preserving many original architectural elements from different periods.
