Château de la Loyère, Heritage castle in Fragnes-La Loyère, France.

The castle features three main buildings arranged around a square courtyard, with prominent corner pavilions rising like towers at one and a half stories.

The castle's origins trace back to 1240, when Guillaume, Bishop of Chalon, made declarations about the fief of La Loyère, retained by the Desrée family.

The southwest tower contains a spiral staircase from the original medieval structure, representing architectural methods of fortified residences in Burgundy.

The castle currently operates as a leisure center, hosting cultural and sports activities for youth during school vacation periods.

A commemorative oak tree was planted on the grounds to mark the victory of Recroi during the time when Jean Beuverand de la Loyère hosted the Prince of Condé.
